South Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary

USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Sioux Falls, SD (LS-SF)
Feeder CattleReceipts 28,379Last week 0Year ago 0
Slaughter CattleReceipts 763Last week 0Year ago 0

Compared to last week: Steer calves under 500 lbs 3.00 to 8.00 higher, over 500 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, heifer calves steady to 5.00 lower. Yearling feeder steers steady to 4.00 higher, heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Moderate to good demand for calves this week, the large rain system that moved across the region sure enough lessened demand for these calves as many places where these calves would be bound saw 2-4 inches of rain. Very good demand for yearlings, especially as the cattle contracts rallied Wednesday and cash cattle traded higher, up to 187.00 by Friday. Central and Western SD auction markets are in the heart of the fall run as cow/calf producers are beginning their fall marketing. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 lower, 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.
