As filed

No recent test for a comparison. Demand very good for feeder cattle this first sale of the new year. Cattle futures sharply higher for the first trading day of the new year, though taking a slight dip today.

Where the buyers were

As USDA grouped them
RegionStates
South CentralKS, MO, NM, OK, TX
Source: USDA AMS · Oklahoma City, OK. 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.
