Feeder CattleReceipts 1,443Last week 8,834Year ago 8,573

Slaughter CattleReceipts 502Last week 1,384Year ago 1,005

Compared to last week: Too few feeder cattle offered as most auction markets did not host a feeder cattle auction. Moderate to good demand for the small offering. Much larger sales expected in the coming week as auction markets all get back to their regular sale schedules and feeder cattle producers resume their winter marketing. Slaughter cows and 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.
