Slaughter CattleReceipts 993Last week 763Year ago 1,110

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves unevenly steady. Yearling steers 5.00 to 8.00 lower, except 900-1000 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 higher, heifers 2.00 to 3.00 lower, except 850-900 lbs to 5.00 higher. Moderate to good demand for steer and heifer calves, dependent upon them having received two rounds of preconditioning shots. Large calf runs are underway in central and western SD where the calves are right of the cow and bawling. Farmer feeders are ready to receive these calves as they have made good progress with their corn harvest. Good demand for yearlings as the supply tightens but the pressure on the futures contracts is causing uncertainty to creep in. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 5.00 lower, bulls 6.00 to 7.00 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.
