Feeder CattleReceipts 36,103Last week 2,204Year ago 23,056

Slaughter CattleReceipts 2,114Last week 129Year ago 2,115

Compared to last week: No price comparisons to be made as last week there was only 1 reported auction due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Higher undertones prevailed as all auction locations returned back to their normal weekly sale schedule. Very good demand for steer and heifer calves, extremely good demand for yearlings. The cash fed cattle market turned the corner on Thanksgiving as it broke out higher, this week followed that trend as fats traded at 140.00-142.00. Cattle feeders are anxious to get cattle bought, especially yearlings that will finish during the spring months of next year. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher, bulls not well tested a week ago for comparison.

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.
