Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Bulk of the trades for future delivery. Demand moderate. Cattle futures remain volatile and this has buyers erring on the cautious side. Rains moved thru some of the trade area but much of the moisture occurred east of I-35. High winds continue in the Panhandle thru Western Oklahoma creating high fire danger. Supply included 95 percent from the South Central Region; 3 percent from the West and 2 percent for the South East. Current delivery is 14 days from the day of the sale and is up to and including March 26th. Deliveries are current thru September 2026.

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.
