Where the buyers were

As USDA grouped them

Region	States
South Central	KS, MO, NM, OK, TX
Southeast	AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV

Source: USDA AMS · Jefferson City, 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.
