No reported sales a week ago to offer a comparison to the two reported auction this week. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. Turnout time has arrived to North Dakota and the large, recent rains have pastures and hayfields growing nicely. Cash fed cattle made another new, historical all-time high record price this week topping at 237.00.

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.
