As filed

This week's offering included feeders, slaughter cows, and some lots of replacement cattle. Supply was higher than demand with some lots being taken out due to prices not being met, demand was moderate.

Source: USDA AMS · Greeley, CO. 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.
