Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 8.00 to 15.00 higher in a narrow comparison. Very good demand for all weights of yearling steers and heifers. The cash fed cattle market remains in the low 240s, keeping demand for feeder cattle red hot. The market is very active in the auctions as the sale schedules are sporadic and cattle feeders know they will have to compete heavily to buy these long strings of yearlings while they are available. Grazing conditions remain good, allowing for a full complete growing season. Auction markets are still managing to put good sales together as there are enough yearling backgrounders who want to capitalize on these prices. Frequent rains have the corn crop developing nicely as growing conditions are very good.

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.
