As filed

JRS held their Annual Prime Time Livestock "The Big Bang" Video Sale and despite excellent haying weather which has finally arrived, a good crowd of buyers and sellers were on hand. Bidding activity, both in person and via the internet, was active. Demand was good to very good. Although overall cattle supplies are smaller than a year ago the supply would still be considered heavy at this years' auction. Cattle were offered from Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. Deliveries are current thru December 2026. Current deliveries are cattle that will deliver up to 14 days from the video sale date, which is July 16, 2026. Just for reference most lots generally sold 50.00-60.00 per cwt. higher than comparable lots from last years' sale.

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.
