Reporter comment USDA

As filed

This week's offering comprised of longtime weaned calves with most of them coming off a one iron ranch. Fully vaccinated with some of them selling in light flesh and would work as grass cattle come springtime. Most lots had a 25 lbs weight stop applied to the base weights. Several lots of replacement type heifers going back to the breeding pastures this summer along with some young bred cows bred to Charolais bulls sold in the run. The next available report will occur when receipts warrant. Offering comprised of 99 percent from the North Central Region with the balance in the West Region.

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.
