North Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary

Receipts 507Last week 888Year ago 794

Only 1 reported feeder cattle auction as the marketing season winds down across North Dakota. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers as the cash fat cattle market continues to make new, all-time, historically, high prices. Grass turnout time has arrived, there has been some rain but the western part of the state is still in need of more rain.

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.
