Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher, instances to 8.00 higher on 700-750 lbs. Feeder heifers under 800 lbs 8.00 10.00 higher, over 800 lbs 2.00 higher. Very good demand again this week for all weights of feeder cattle. As the cash fed cattle market continues to strengthen, so does the feeder cattle market. Cattle feeders want to get these yearlings bought while they are available, whether they are off grass or out of growing yards which is resulting in a market that is extremely active. The cash fat market in the north is retaining it's positive basis over the board, 7.00 this week, which is really helping to fuel the fire that is lit under the feeder cattle market, as this has been a counter seasonal rally. This is the time of year where fed cattle supplies are traditionally the greatest and where the market usually gets very sluggish. The fact that this has not happened this year has caused cattle producers to really get bullish on the future. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher, bulls 1.00 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.
