North Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary

Receipts 14,062Last week 10,009Year ago 10,590

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 lower, heifers 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Good demand for steers and heifers, best demand remains centered on light cattle to background as the CME Feeder Cattle contracts continue to climb higher. Cattle bound for finishing yard didn't sell as easily as cattle feeders are facing a current cash fat cattle market below their breakeven prices. Cattle feeders have also had to deal with great amounts of mud as the ground conditions had been really soft and wet.

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.
