Receipts 6,557Last week 4,046Year ago 6,041

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. The market was very active this week as cattle feeders felt better about the prospects of the fat market as the boxed beef market has risen to new highs for this time of year. Yearling operators and replacement heifer buyers were very active as spring has arrived and turnout time will be coming soon.

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.
