North Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary

Mon Jan 8, 2024
USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Bismarck, ND (LS-BM)
Receipts 9,293Last week 7,385Year ago 13,946

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 700 lbs 4.00 to 6.00 higher, over 700 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 650 lbs 8.00 to 12.00 higher, over 650 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Very good demand for feeder cattle this week, especially those light enough in weight and flesh to make yearlings of and run on summer grass. The cattle futures contracts stopped their plummet, which is adding great support to the feeder cattle market. Cash fed cattle up to 175.00 again this week, also helping to support prices at the auction. Many yearlings that were purchased last fall have a breakeven price closer to 200.00, leaving those cattle feeders with a loss and not making them want to give more for the bigger, heavier, weaned calves that must go straight to finishing yards.

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.
