Receipts 4,372Last week 2,053Year ago 3,542

Compared to last week: Sharply higher undertones for feeder steers and heifers this week. The fall marketing season has begun and buyers were eager to buy these good spring born calves. The rally seen in the CME cattle futures complex has created a lot of optimism amongst cattle producers, resulting in a very active market at the auction. Central ND auctions still not seeing large receipts as cattle producers in those areas are focused on fall harvest. Higher cash fed cattle, up to 240.00 helped to propel the feeder cattle market higher as well.

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.
