USDA-reported direct cattle sales in the High Plains totaled 60,162 head for the week ending November 9, down from 61,441 the prior week and 61,553 a year earlier. The report listed weighted average prices and sales volumes for steers and heifers across several weight and quality categories.
The weekly sales figures provide a snapshot of regional cattle marketing and prices, but the modestly lower receipts alone do not establish a clear supply or price shift for feed buyers.
After 78 past neutral report events, Live Cattle moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.0% to +1.0%), and +0.7% over 20.
