Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 700 lbs steady to 1.00 higher, over 700 lbs 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Feeder heifers 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. As the cattle futures contracts continue to climb higher the feeder cattle market stays incredibly active at the auctions as there is a great amount of optimism for the coming late summer/early fall marketing period. Numbers of feeder cattle in light enough weight are getting tighter with each passing week, making it even more competitive for this class of cattle.

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.
