North Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary

Mon Apr 19, 2021
USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Bismarck, ND (LS-BM)
Receipts 5,371Last week 5,851Year ago 5,668

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 5.00 to 10.00 lower, instances to 12.00 lower. Feeder heifers 2.00 to 5.00 lower, instances to 8.00 lower under 550 lbs. Demand only moderate as the cattle futures plummet and corn rises higher. The drought is front and center on every producers mind, heifers held back as replacements continue to be offered at the auctions and much less demand from in state yearling operators. Cash fed cattle traded lower which added more pressure to the feeder cattle market.

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.
