Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers too lightly tested to make full comparisons, steady to firm undertones noted. Few auctions with feeder cattle sales this week as summer sale schedules are in effect at most locations. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers as cattle feeders are feeling very optimistic as the cash markets continue to well outperform the futures contracts. Feed costs are much lower than last year, which is also helping to support the feeder cattle market. Grass yearlings are still out grazing as conditions are adequate, allowing a full grazing season. Cash fed cattle up to 196.00, 13.00 premium to the spot month. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower, bulls 2.00 to 3.00 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.
