Compared to last week: Much larger feeder cattle offering this week, feeder steers under 600 lbs 7.00 to 10.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady to 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold with higher undertones, too few offered a week ago to make a full, complete comparison. Very good demand remains for light weight, and fleshed, cattle to make yearlings of as the CME Feeder Cattle contracts for the fall months are so attractive, along with a much better grazing outlook this year. Demand still good for the heavier cattle bound for feedyards, yet the rough winter weather is affecting the market as costs of gain are much higher than anticipated as pen conditions are wet and sloppy when the temps move to the freezing mark.

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.
