Compared to last week: Feeder cattle offerings too limited this week to allow a fair market comparison with last week's much larger offering. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. With the cash fat cattle market up to 260.00, there is great interest to buy cattle. Rains came to the state this week, bringing much needed relief to many areas. Many auction markets are on a biweekly sale schedule as they normally do throughout the summer.

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.
