Too few reported auctions this week to allow any price comparisons. Good demand for these spring calves in spite of it being 2-3 full months earlier than normal. In years pasts many cattle feeders would not be interested in buying a bawling calf this early before their corn harvest as begun, but this year there is a lot of interest in getting these light calves bought. Cash fed cattle market topped at 129.50 in Iowa this week and Apr Live Cattle futures at 1.40 is helping to support the feeder cattle market.

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.
