North Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary

Mon Mar 9, 2026

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

Receipts 4,046Last week 9,122Year ago 6,466

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 5.00 to 15.00 lower. Demand good for steers and heifers still, yet there was is a lot of uncertainty in the marketplace currently and that led to a lower feeder cattle market. As cash fed cattle have slipped down to 235.00-237.00 level, and the futures contracts not offering much support, cattle feeders were determined to buy cattle cheaper. Lighter auction receipts this week as another shot of winter weather moved through the area.

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.
