Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers unevenly steady in a limited comparison. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. CME Feeder Cattle futures found some support this week and traded higher, which helped to propel the cash feeder cattle market higher. Cash fed cattle at 235.00 this week, leaving many outgoing fed cattle losing some money but in spite of this feeder cattle market still worked it's way higher.

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.
