Compared to last week steers over 750 lbs sold steady to 8.00 higher. Most weights of heifers sold steady to 3.00 lower excepts 650 lbs and 800 lbs sold 10.00 higher. Demand was good at the reporting auctions with most of the yearling weight cattle coming out of grow yards. Few, heifers going back to the county to be made into replacement heifers. Cash feedlot trade in the county ranged from 188.00 to 193.00 live and dressed sales 298.00 to 304.00. Cash sales remains well above the CME live cattle futures due to light supply of market ready cattle in a large area.

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.
