North Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary

Mon Sep 25, 2023
USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Bismarck, ND (LS-BM)
Receipts 3,108Last week 2,970Year ago 2,618

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold with steady to lower undertones compared to last week's single reported sale, heifers sold with steady to weak undertones. Good demand for yearling steers and heifers, yet the sudden downturn in the cattle futures complex caused much concern. Auction receipts remain light yet in North Dakota auctions as grazing conditions remain good enough that cattle producers aren't having to pull cattle early and ship to town. Larger receipts expected in the coming weeks.

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.
