As a courtesy to area cattlemen, The Crittenden Press will begin publishing the weekly report from Christian County Livestock Market inside The Early Bird each week, as space allows. The first report from the Hopkinsville market will be published in Tuesday's edition.
The Press already publishes the weekly Tuesday report from Livingston County Livestock at Ledbetter in each edition of our flagship publication. It will continue to be published in the newspaper.
The Hopkinsville livestock auctions, however, are typically held on Wednesday each week, which does not allow time for publication in the newspaper.
Since the West Kentucky Livestock Market in Marion ceased operations in October 2010, local cattlemen have been forced to sell cattle at other locations, with Ledbetter, Hopkinsville and Owensboro being the closest weekly markets in Kentucky.
