Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No recent comparison for a market trend. Demand was good as two world champion auctioneers called a fast paced auction from start to finish. Several top strings of long time weaned steers and heifers on hand for the winter classic auction. Most lots running out and were in light to medium flesh.

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.
