Feeder CattleReceipts 36,122Last week 11,291Year ago 41,241
Slaughter CattleReceipts 1,794Last week 956Year ago 1,771

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 750 lbs 4.00 to 8.00 higher, over 750 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 650 lbs 7.00 to 12.00 higher, over 650 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers this week as there was a new round of optimism infused into the market from the cattle futures contracts responding to the bullish Cattle Inventory report. Cash fed cattle reached 161.00 this week, coming back to being par with the Live Cattle futures contract. As costs of gain are so high, flesh condition remains the most value determining factor when feeder cattle are offered in the ring. The supply of light weight cattle, to make yearlings of, gets tighter with each passing week and the market is incredibly active on these cattle. The market is very active for the much more plentiful, heavier weight cattle that are only suitable for finishing yards as the fall months of the Live Cattle contract are over 160.00. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher, except Lean cows 6.00 to 8.00 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.
