North Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary

Receipts 2,505Last week 3,732Year ago 2,068

Only 1 reported auction this week as other locations had too few cattle to justify reporting or they cancelled their auction due to the winter storm that moved through the area. Demand remains very good, for both cattle to make yearlings of and for those bigger cattle bound for finishing yards. Cash fed cattle last week up to 215.00 again, in spite of the CME Live Cattle futures being 5.00 to 6.00 under the cash. Cattle feeders are feeling bullish again as the summer months of the futures moved above 200.00.

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.
