USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Sioux Falls, SD (LS-SF)

Feeder CattleReceipts 8,617Last week 19,734Year ago 13,674

Slaughter CattleReceipts 902Last week 1,159Year ago 1,639

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 850 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower, over 850 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers unevenly steady. Moderate to good demand for this lighter offering of feeder cattle. With the winter storm at midweek there were some cancellations, along with the locations that don't host a sale this holiday week, there were fewer feeder cattle offered in the auctions. With the rising corn cost there is great concern over the coming months in the fed cattle market, this is adding pressure to the feeder cattle market. There was some moisture received this week but more is needed, which is keeping some pressure on the light cattle market that could run on grass as yearlings. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher, bulls 2.00 to 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.
