Feeder CattleReceipts 24,173Last week 27,226Year ago 21,484

Slaughter CattleReceipts 1,238Last week 1,161Year ago 982

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 750 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 higher, over 750 lbs unevenly steady. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 lower. Very good demand remains for all weights of steers and heifers, yet the market eased back a bit on the bigger cattle as the futures contracts fail to follow the cash market higher and added pressure to the market instead. Packers lowered their bids this week and got few cattle bought, as cattle feeders know they retain all the leverage yet they slowed in their pursuit of feeder cattle. Flesh remains a major factor in how much cattle feeders will pay for a set of cattle. Colder than average temps for much of this week along with rain/snow continue to make for poor feeding conditions. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 higher, bulls 5.00 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.
