Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable trades to test trends but a slightly lower undertone is noted. Demand moderate to good for the nice supply of cattle on offer. Cattle futures traded sharply lower Monday and Tuesday and have rebounded some today. A fairly neutral Cattle Inventory Report last Friday, however, other worldly affairs negatively impacted the futures market the beginning of the week. Some moisture is returning to parts of the state and next week it could be in the form of the white stuff.

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.
