Compared to last week: Too few comparable sales to make complete price comparisons, lower undertones prevailed on feeder steers and heifers. Good demand for yearlings as they continue to be offered coming out of grow yards, some off grass. The CME cattle futures complex turned lower and is pointing to a much different outlook for the remainder of the year, packers were able to buy cattle below 250.00 this week as well. Few feeder cattle auctions this week, as is normal for this time of year.

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.
