Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 lower, instances to 10.00 lower, heifers 3.00 to 5.00 lower, instances to 10.00 lower. Very good demand remains for steers and heifers but with the lower Feeder Cattle futures and the higher corn futures cattle feeders have pumped the brakes and slowed in their pursuit of feeder cattle. Hot weather set in this week, with drought expansion throughout the corn belt as the rain chances never seem to materialize. Packers still had to pay up, 185.00-190.00 to get cattle bought. The dog days of summer have arrived but still the fat market is dollars higher than where the futures contracts are at. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 2.00 lower, bulls 3.00 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.
