South Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary

USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Sioux Falls, SD (LS-SF)
Feeder CattleReceipts 37,179Last week 37,762Year ago 38,170
Slaughter CattleReceipts 1,858Last week 1,982Year ago 1,881

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 850 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, over 850 lbs 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to 2.00 lower, except 700-800 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Good to very good demand, with the best demand centered on those cattle to make yearlings of, but cattle feeders have slowed in their pursuit of chasing the feeder market. Cash fed cattle sales continue to disappoint as packers have not had to give more to get their cattle needs secured. The Live Cattle futures contracts have also failed to keep up with cattle feeders expectations as many were very bullish on the coming months as they were banking on a rally that has not come. Slaughter cows unevenly steady, bulls 5.00 lower.

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.
