Feeder CattleReceipts 48,493Last week 53,821Year ago 22,942
Slaughter CattleReceipts 1,468Last week 1,059Year ago 1,763

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves 10.00 to 15.00 lower. Yearling feeder steers 5.00 to 10.00 lower, yearling heifers 10.00 to 15.00 lower. Demand for calves much moderate than has been seen since the start of the fall runs. The immense downward pressure from the futures complex has caused much uncertainty concerning the direction of the market. This collapse in the futures really came out of nowhere and blindsided cattle producers and left them reeling as it such a vast departure from where the market was pointed towards a month ago. Cattle feeders saw the fat market roll back into the 178.00-181.00 range because of the futures collapse. The confidence that cattle feeders had that the market would stay good has been shattered by this past week's downturn. Calves that aren't carrying two rounds of shot, or just aren't as attractive were much harder to sell, the market was still active on the front end kind. The yearling market was under the same pressure as those Live Cattle contract winter months are much lower than they were. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower, bulls 3.00 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.
