Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last sale: Not enough comparable sales of steers to set a trend but a much higher undertone was noted. Feeder heifers not well tested. The bulk of trades were for future deliveries. Demand good.

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.
