Feeder CattleReceipts 37,354Last week 33,589Year ago 42,474

Slaughter CattleReceipts 1,236Last week 1,641Year ago 1,680

Compared to last week: Steer calves 2.00 to 7.00 higher, heifer calves under 550 lbs 7.00 to 10.00 higher, over 550 lbs unevenly steady. Yearling feeder steers unevenly steady, heifers 2.00 to 6.00 lower. Very good demand remains for steer and heifer calves as the fall run rolls along. There is great interest in buying these lighter calves while they are available. Good demand for yearlings but with the cash fed cattle market lower this week and the winter months of the CME Live Cattle contracts lower than the current cash market, cattle feeders are having to re-evaluate the approach to the yearling market.

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.
