Feeder CattleReceipts 43,956Last week 24,196Year ago 27,785

Slaughter CattleReceipts 2,357Last week 1,689Year ago 1,557

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 3.00 lower, except 600-650 lbs 2.00 higher, feeder heifers steady to 4.00 lower, except 500-550 lbs 6.00 to 7.00 lower. Good demand for light weight and fleshed cattle that will be backgrounded, demand moderate for cattle bound for finishing yards. The CME Live Cattle futures added pressure to the market as losses were posted almost every day. Cash fed cattle continue to disappoint as cattle feeders aren’t able to get the leverage they need to drive the cash market higher. Large feeder cattle offerings were the norm this week as the weather warmed, 75 degrees warmer than last week’s -25 overnight lows. Feeder cattle producers were able to get their stock shipped to town easily and were ready to sell them, especially for those who will begin calving soon. The market remains the most active for cattle that fit backgrounding programs as supplies of these cattle are much more limited. Spring is just around the corner which is also helping to push demand for cattle that will run on grass as yearlings. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 9.00 lower, bulls 1.00 to 2.00 lower.

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.
