Compared to last week: Only 1 reported auction a week ago, no recent price comparison to be made with this week's full run of reported auctions. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. As the New Year began and all auction markets came back to their regular weekly feeder cattle sales, cattle feeders and order buyers were geared up and ready to buy cattle. The Live Cattle contracts faltered and traded lower as daily slaughter totals have declined, but there is great optimism yet from many cattle feeders that better days lie ahead and they want to have cattle ready when that time comes. Packers were able to buy cattle cheaper this week as they have had to cut their daily kills. Feeder cattle producers are eager to get their cattle consigned and sold as the market is so much higher than where they were expecting it to be just a few short months ago. Large auction receipts expected again for next week. Slaughter cows were mixed, Breaker and Boner cows 3.00 to 6.00 lower, Lean cows and bulls steady.

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 South Dakota barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
