Feeder CattleReceipts 20,369Last week 16,009Year ago 22,045

Slaughter CattleReceipts 1,830Last week 1,526Year ago 1,439

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 5.00 to 7.00 lower, except over 1000 lbs steady to firm, heifers 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Very good demand for yearling steers and heifers but the sudden drop off in the cattle futures complex caused cattle feeders to slow down in their pursuit of yearlings. Cash fed cattle traded in the 184-185 range but the break in the futures really rattled producers and caused them to refigure breakeven prices at lower levels. Very good demand for the few spring born calves that have shown up in the auctions, many more to come in the coming weeks. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 4.00 lower, bulls 3.00 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.
