Compared to last week's limited test of yearling feeder steers and heifers: Feeder steers 2.00 to 6.00 higher, feeder heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Good demand for yearling steers and heifers after last week's bullish Cattle On Feed report confirmed much lower feedyard placements. Cattle feeders are feeling less unsure about the direction of the market and more willing to step into the action and buy some cattle to feed. Live Cattle futures made a substantial turnaround as well this week, Oct moved back above the 100.00 mark and Dec moved back closer to 110.00. With the feeder cattle market moving higher feeder cattle producers are also feeling somewhat better about the market and are willing to sell cattle now.

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.
