19 head has no floor under it. Whether that matters depends on the margin: with the market well over cost of gain it is a risk the desk can live with, and with the market near cost it is the finding that outranks everything else on this page.

By head rather than by pounds, which is what a producer means. 343 head is 95% of the weight, because the lots that went first were not average.

What is under the price

No LRP endorsement on this group. With grain the fallback is a bin; here there is none, so an unsold head with no floor is exposed to whatever the market does between now and the day it has to move.

The net floor is the coverage price less the premium, because a $6.50 premium on a $240.00 coverage price is a $233.50 floor. And LRP settles on RMA's published index rather than on what these animals bring at the barn: the basis between the two stays with Alma Rasmussen, so this is not a guaranteed sale price and should never be described as one.

A grid lot's price is an estimate until the carcass data comes back, in the same way an HTA with the basis open is on the grain side. Both mean the average on the client's statement moves after the fact.
