Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 500 lbs up to 20.00 higher, over 500 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher, instances to to 15.00 higher on 1000-1050 lbs. Feeder heifers under 700 lbs 10.00 to 15.00 higher, over 700 lbs 6.00 to 9.00 higher. Very good demand for feeder cattle as the winter weather eased and the futures contracts continued on their higher path. Cattle feeders were ready to step back in and buy feeder cattle now that the market signals were clearly sounding that a rally was taking place. Packers had to give more money to get fat cattle bought, up to 178.00, which really helped to add support to the heavier weight feeder cattle. The market was extremely active on those light cattle to background as it's only going to get harder to find those kinds. Fall months of the CME Feeder Cattle contracts are back to 270.00, again giving clear signals to yearling operators to have cattle sell during that time period. Slaughter cows steady, except Lean cows 5.00 higher, bulls too few to compare.

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.
