Too few sales to quote a price

Read before the tables

USDA has not published enough Indiana trade to quote a price — its newest complete week is Oct 19, 15 days ago. Every weight class it filed came in under 50head, so there is no class we are willing to average into a state price. One barn's sale is not a state.

This is a reporting gap, not an absence of trade. Cattle are sold here; USDA is not filing a report deep enough to price them. What it did file is below in full, for the record — head counts without averages.

2 of 2 classes are not quoted. Those traded, but under 50 head — too few to average into a market price. The head count is still shown, so nothing is hidden; only the average is withheld. Across every state over the last year, cells under 50 head are 29% of the cells and 1.4% of the cattle. $/cwt, head and barn counts are USDA as filed USDA. $/cwt is USDA's weighted average of every reported lot. $/head is that price applied to the midpoint of the weight range Derived, blank on 300–400 and 900 lb + because both are open-ended and USDA publishes no average weight to use instead.
