Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Supply was moderate for this PrimeTime Livestock Video Auction with cattle offered from Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Alabama. Demand was good to very good with only one lot being PO'ed. Plenty of optimism in the market currently which was evident by price differences between cattle with near deliveries and those that will come later, as most expect cattle numbers to just keep getting tighter. Deliveries are current thru January of 2024. Current deliveries are cattle that will deliver up to 14 days from the video sale date, which is September 22, 2023. All cattle sold were considered value added and from a verified heath program.

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.
