Feeder cattle board sales

Cattle sold on the board at a stockyard — 25 sales

What these sales are

Forward prices — never spot
Cattle are sold on a board at the stockyard rather than through the ring, priced F.O.B. with the buyer taking freight. Weights are actual, not estimated, and there is no delivery month — which is what separates a board sale from a video sale. USDA files a reporter comment and receipts against last week and last year.
