Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves 4.00 to 8.00 higher, yearling feeder steers steady to 2.00 lower, yearling heifers unevenly steady. Good demand for this large offering of spring born calves, very good demand for yearlings. Calves started moving to the auctions this week as producers in central and western South Dakota are short of feed and needing to wean and sell calves. Farmer feeders have their soybean harvest pretty much wrapped up and are working on corn and are willing to take on some of these long strings of these calves when they are offered. The pace of harvest has been pretty fast, as the weather remains very mild and dry. Pen conditions are dry, which greatly helps to reduce stress on these newly arriving calves. Cattle feeders were able to sell fat cattle up to 148.00 in Iowa this week, keeping a positive basis over the board which is helping to keep them feeling good about the coming months. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 lower, bulls 5.00 to 6.00 lower.

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.
