Slaughter CattleReceipts 929Last week 993Year ago 1,478

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves 10.00 to 20.00 lower. Yearling feeder steers 4.00 to 8.00 lower, except 900-950 lbs 20.00 lower, yearling heifers 700-900 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower, over 900 lbs 10.00 to 15.00 lower. Demand much lighter this week as the cattle futures contracts imploded at the start of the week. Limit losses on Monday, followed up with expanded limit losses during the trading session Tuesday caused cattle producers to stop and rethink their strategy to approaching the feeder market. Losses for the week were 5.00 to 7.00 for Feeder Cattle and only 2.40 for Dec Live Cattle but the damage was already done for the mindset of cattle buyers. Cash fed cattle managed to trade up to 186.00, leaving a strong basis in the north which is counter seasonal from what normally happens. The weather turned poor at midweek as a large snow storm moved across the region giving cattle feeders one more reason to not to want chase the calf market. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 9.00 lower, bulls 5.00 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.
