As filed

Trade activity and demand moderate to good. Supply included yearlings and calves with delivery current through January 2021. Replacement cattle supply comprised of bred heifers in their first trimester and bred cows mostly 2-8 year olds in their first trimester with current through November 2020 delivery. This is the last CCV of the summer. Future videos typically run the 3rd Wednesday of every month, but will showcase as schedules warrant.

Where the buyers were

As USDA grouped them

Region	States
North Central	CO, IA, MT, ND, NE, SD, WY

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.
