Compared to last week: A much larger offering this week, feeder steers and heifers 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Very good demand for yearling steers and heifers, the market was very active as cattle feeders are feeling fairly optimistic about the fed cattle market. Cash fat cattle sales in the north remained at 126.00, again selling at a good premium to the southern plains. The basis to the CME Live Cattle futures is almost 7.00 over the board, this fact is really lending support to the feeder cattle market. Old crop corn futures have fallen back to below 6.50 and new crop at 5.20 is helping to ease concern that prices could move higher yet. There has been some rain across the state but more will be needed to prevent cattle from having to be pulled off grass early. Producers in the central part of the state have had it the worst and continue to sell cattle to meet their available forage supplies. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher, bulls 3.00 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.
