North Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary

USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Bismarck, ND (LS-BM)
Receipts 2,361Last week 9,870Year ago 4,958

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 550 lbs 10.00 to 20.00 higher, 550-650 lbs 8.00 to 12.00 higher, over 650 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 4.00 to 5.00 higher, except 450-500 lbs 10.00 higher. Very good demand for this much lighter offering as the cold, frigid weather kept many cattle producers from shipping their cattle to town. As the Feeder Cattle futures contracts for the summer and fall months have risen above 200.00, interest in light weight cattle to make yearlings of has really increased.

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.
