Reporter comment USDA

As filed

First reported sale in four weeks so comparison not applicable. Buyers bid readily throughout the day from in-house buyers, buyers on the call-in phone lines and on the internet. The cattle offering varied from calves directly off the cows to long-time weaned yearling steers and heifers that normally would see the marketplace in another month. Drought situations in the trade area had producers wanting to get cattle off grazing lands sooner rather than later. Feeder cattle supply comprised of 99% from the West, with the balance from the North Central. Deliveries are current through June. Current delivery is 14 days from the last day of the sale and is up to and including April 24, 2026. Value added commented cattle have at least two or more "Special Programs" listed for the lot.

Source: USDA AMS · St Joseph, MO. Prices are as filed, F.O.B. at origin, with the buyer taking freight — they are not comparable to a spot ring price and never enter a barn average. Weights are USDA’s estimates — these cattle had not been weighed when they sold. Delivery months differ between lots; a price for one month is not a price for another. Head is summed from the lots as reported.

Feeder Cattle — prices, barns, and planning

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf

Feed & Hay — the cost side, cash not futures

Cows & Bred Stock — the rebuild market
