Compared to last week: Steer calves under 550 lbs steady, except 350-400 lbs sharply higher, over 550 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 higher. Heifer calves steady to 4.00 higher, with instances to 10.00 higher on 500-550 lbs. Very good demand for steer and heifer calves as the fall run continues in the western part of the state and just gets going good in the central parts. Yearling operators are in town and ready to buy these light calves while they are available, cattle feeders aren't as aggressive as they watch the back months of the CME Live Cattle contracts and are a little more apprehensive. The very mild fall weather has allowed cattle producers in the central part of the state time to finish their harvest and prepare for winter, they are just now beginning their marketing of spring born calves in those regions.

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.
