Compared to last week: Feeder steers 2.00 to 4.00 higher, except 700-800 lbs and 950-1050 lbs 8.00 to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Very good demand for steers and heifers as the cash fed cattle continues to advance, all the way up to 191.00 in Iowa, leaving a positive basis of 10.00-11.00 over the futures contracts. Cattle feeders paid little attention to the futures contracts as they know full well how tight supplies of fed cattle in the northern plains really are. Feeder offerings have been light and when a good sized sale is held the market is incredibly active. Turnout time is upon us now and grass is growing nicely. Auction receipts will be light throughout the summer, outside of a the annual summer BBQ sales that will be held in June. Cattle feeders can see how there are fewer cattle in the country and know they will have to give more to get their cattle bought that they need. Corn planting is finishing up and with the warm weather and ample moisture, is popping up in rows nicely. There is a lot of optimism in the cattle industry, currently, in spite of the futures contracts that are dollars under the current cash markets. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower, bulls 4.00 to 5.00 higher.

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.
