North Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary

Receipts 2,640Last week 913Year ago 3,211

Compared to last week: Feeder cattle too lightly tested last week to offer a good comparison with this week. Very good demand remains for yearling steers and heifers as farmer feeders are beginning their corn harvest and are ready to buy yearlings off grass while they are available. CME Live Cattle contracts stopped their declines and posted gains this week which helped to support the feeder cattle market. Very few spring born calves being offered for sale yet.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the North Dakota barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
