First weekly auction summary of the fall marketing season, no recent reports to compare to this week. Good demand for yearling steers and heifers, as cattle feeders want to get these good, light fleshed cattle, right off grass, bought while they are available. Moderate demand for spring born calves as farmer feeders have turned their full attention to fall harvest and don't have the time necessary to start a bawling calf on feed.

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.
