Compared to last week: Feeder steers unevenly steady, heifers 4.00 to 8.00 higher. Very good demand for yearling steers and heifers as there were more of these cattle grass. Cash fed cattle were lower but the price is still so much higher than what was anticipated for this time period. Cattle feeders remain very optimistic, especially after just coming through the time of the year where fed cattle supplies are the greatest and prices were able to hold in the 180s. Corn silage harvest underway, wrapping up in some areas as the hot, dry weather really dried the crop down fast. Pastures are getting short and it's the time of the year to be pulling yearlings off grass, no spring born calves, to speak of generally, have been offered yet as it is still early. Slaughter cows steady to weak, bulls not well tested.

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.
