Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Today's run comprised of feeder cattle to ship mostly current through November with a few sales to deliver later. Buyers discounted unweaned calves and split loads. Weaned offerings were 30 days and longer. Cattle had good vac programs and were coming off grass in heavy drought stricken areas. Trade activity and demand moderate to good.

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.

Feeder Cattle — prices, barns, and planning

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf

Feed & Hay — the cost side, cash not futures

Cows & Bred Stock — the rebuild market
