Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 1000 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher, over 1000 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 750-1000 lbs 4.00 to 8.00 higher, other weights not well compared. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. Light offerings of feeder cattle this week, as is normal for this time of year.

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.
