Reporter comment USDA

As filed

First reported in-house video sale for awhile a market trend is not applicable. Majority of the lots on Friday's sale would have went to summer grass for awhile and would have more than likely sold on a summer video sale and delivered late summer. Severe drought conditions continue in this trade area are ranchers are having to adapt to a new market plan.

As USDA grouped them
RegionStates
North CentralCO, IA, MT, ND, NE, SD, WY
Source: USDA AMS · Kearney, NE. 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.
