North Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary

Mon Jan 9, 2023

USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Bismarck, ND (LS-BM)

Receipts 13,946Last week 9,223Year ago 19,883

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 650 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher, over 650 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher except 800-850 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher, 600-850 lbs unevenly steady, over 850 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Very good demand for light steers and heifers suitable for backgrounding, only moderate demand for heavier weight cattle as the supply of this class is so much greater. With the break in the weather, feeder cattle producers were able to get cattle loaded and shipped to town but the cattle feeders who buy the cattle are now dealing with the adverse affects of the weather and are feeling much more defensive about receiving cattle. Costs of gain in the feedyards has risen with the cold, wet weather and the fat cattle market did not rise as high as hoped, causing cattle feeders to temper their expectations. Very large auction receipts expected again next week as cattle producers continue their winter marketings.

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.
