Only 1 reported auction this week, too few offered to make any price comparisons. The feeder cattle marketing season is winding down, as is normal for this time of year in North Dakota. Turnout has arrived, which is keeping demand for those light fleshed cattle to run on grass, red hot. The futures contracts continue to be very volatile as there is some uncertainty in the market currently. Cash fed cattle up to 187.00, disappointing to cattle feeders who were hopeful for 190.00.

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.
