Compared to last week: steer calves under 450 lbs sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher, over 450 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Heifer calves sold steady to 4.00 higher. Yearling steers sold steady to 4.00 lower on a light test as the calf run is in full swing. Yearling heifers sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Receipts were curtailed mid to late week as moisture was widespread across the state leaving muddy roads impassable to big trucks. Backgrounding lots are muddy with some buyers being cautious on what calves to buy until lots can dry out a bit. As the days get shorter it takes a lot longer for those lots to dry out, but sunshine and wind will play into getting the job done. Many strings of preconditioned calves in the offering this week whether they were fully preconditioned off the cow or had a 30 day wean on them, they were met with moderate to good demand. Slaughter cows 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold on a lower undertone.

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.
