As filed

Compared to last week: No video sale last week due to the Thanksgiving Day Holiday. Thus no test for a trend. Demand good and prices are notably higher. Cattle futures have rebounded nicely that past couple of days.

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.
