Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Very good demand remains for yearling cattle, fewer cattle offered at the auctions this week as most auction markets are still operating on their summer sale schedules. New crop corn futures continue to climb higher, towards 7.00, but cattle feeders are feeling very bullish towards the fall and winter months of the fat market. The feeder market is very active as cattle feeders want to buy these highly efficient, grass yearlings. Drought continues, with some more expansion East River, but many yearling operators have been able to hold on and market their stock in their normal timeframes. Slaughter cows and bulls steady.

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.
