Too few feeder cattle last week to allow a meaningful price comparison with this week, moderate to good demand for feeder steers and heifers dependent upon their flesh condition and what time of year they will reach finished weights. Old crop corn futures were sharply lower this week, a sharp reversal as it was racing towards 8.00 a week ago. Cattle feeders continue to see losses on outgoing fed cattle yet there is a glimmer of hope as the CME Live Cattle futures for the 4th quarter of the year are about 10.00 higher than the current month. North Dakota cattle producers are starting to sell down already as the prospects for a grazing season are very bleak currently.

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.
