No price comparisons to make as there was only one sale a week ago to compare to, higher undertones prevailed at the auctions this week. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers, especially those light cattle under 650 lbs. Cash fed cattle posted a rally, up to 175.00, leaving a 4.00 positive basis. Attitudes amongst cattle producers are much better as the rapid decline of the cattle futures stopped.

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.
