Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 750 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, instances to 10.00 lower on 500-550 lbs, over 750 lbs 4.00 to 8.00 lower. Feeder heifers 3.00 to 6.00 lower. Only moderate demand for this large offering of feeder cattle this week as cattle feeders were left reeling by the sharp spike in the corn market. As current feed cost, and projected future feed cost, skyrocketed in a very short time frame, breakeven prices had to be quickly refigured. Cattle feeders are very critical of feeder cattle carrying any excess flesh condition as these cattle don’t gain as efficiently, which translates to a much higher cost of gain. This winter has been very mild which has allowed cattle to stay comfortable and gain easily.

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.
