Where the buyers were

As USDA grouped them
RegionStates
WestAZ, CA, ID, NV, OR, UT, WA
Source: USDA AMS · Moses Lake, WA. 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.
