Compared to last week: Too few feeder steers and heifers offered this week to allow a good comparison. A winter storm moved through the area at midweek making for hazardous travel conditions, resulting in few cattle at the auctions.

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.
