Feeder CattleReceipts 26,201Last week 38,170Year ago 36,463

Slaughter CattleReceipts 1,301Last week 1,881Year ago 1,051

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 700 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher, over 700 lbs unevenly steady. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Good to very good demand for all weights of feeder cattle this week, best demand was centered on lighter weight and fleshed cattle that will reach finished weights later in the year. With Feb Live Cattle at 116.00 early in the week cattle feeders were feeling much more optimistic and willing to pay more to secure their feeder cattle needs but cash fed cattle sales only reached 113.00 which put some pressure on the heavier feeder cattle. Live Cattle futures closed around 1.00 to 1.50 lower after cash sales failed to rise up high enough to meet the futures market. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 higher, except Breakers 3.00 lower, bulls 4.00 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 South Dakota barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
