Compared to last week: Only 1 auction to report a week ago, no comparison for this large offering as all the auction market locations returned to their normal sale schedule. Moderate to good demand for feeder cattle, in spite of the extreme drop in the futures contracts. Cattle producers and feeders are left scrambling trying to find a path forward that doesn't point to losses as the futures complex continues to plummet. Cash fed cattle at 175.00 this week, as packers point to the lower futures and lower their cash bids. 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.
