Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Todays sale was the Lamb and Calf Spectacular video sale, this report has the calves and yearlings from the sale. The demand for the yearlings was greater than the demand for the calves but demand for the calves was still good. Bidding was active on all cattle with a moderate supply. There was also some lots of slaughter cows that sold with good demand.

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.
