Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 lower, over 600 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher, over 500 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Good demand for steers and heifers this week. A quieter week, weather wise, helped to add support to the feeder market as auctions featured large offerings as there weren't the consignment cancelations seen last week. The flesh condition varies greatly as cattle that are only hay fed are in very light flesh as the winter has been so tough, while those on a higher energy ration are carrying more flesh. This remains the most important factor when buying feeder cattle as cattle feeders shy away from the flesh types. The cash fed cattle market turned lower, as did the basis as it turned negative after the entire last year being positive. Packers have enough leverage they were able to lower bids and get cattle bought as cattle feeders want to get their market ready cattle sold and gone as cost of gain is really high on these heavy cattle. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower, bulls 2.00 higher.

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.
