Only 1 reported auction this week, very few feeder cattle offered for sale making it difficult to make actual dollar comparisons, steady to higher undertones evident. Moderate to good demand for yearling steers and heifers, most were right off grass in an attractive light flesh and offered in full loads. The market was fairly active for these grass cattle as the futures market has risen higher from last week's levels as has the cash fed cattle trade. Cattle producers are currently focused on finishing small grain harvest, which has resulted in few cattle being offered for sale.

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 North Dakota barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
