Compared to last week: Only 1 auction a week ago to compare with this week, an accurate price comparison can not be made. Demand was rather good this week after the reports of much higher fat cattle early in the week. The CME cattle futures fluctuated wildly making limit lower moves one day and then limit higher the next. The best demand remains on the light calves that are suitable for backgrounding. The backgrounded cattle being sold now find much fewer outlets as many cattle feeders have market ready fat cattle but can't get a bid.

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.
