Only one reported auction this week, no price comparisons available. This was the first sizable offering of spring born calves and yearlings from Western North Dakota, the market was active as cattle feeders are feeling bullish about the future months of the fed cattle market. The extreme drought rages on across North Dakota and is pushing cattle off grass very early.

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.
