Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 3.00 higher, except 850-950 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers unevenly steady. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers as cattle feeders are feeling very optimistic about the fat cattle market, as it topped at 162.50 this week. The summer and fall months of the Feeder Cattle contracts are very attractive and backgrounders want to get their cattle needs secured to have some cattle to sell during that time frame, which is creating a very active market for those light fleshed cattle to make yearlings of. The temperature rose above freezing, finally, along with rain and made for muddy ground conditions, cattle were carrying quite a bit of tag at times, taking away their eye appeal as they aren't as attractive when they are dirty. Another large storm in the forecast for the entire state for the coming week. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher, 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.
