Feeder cattle offerings too limited to make full, complete price comparisons, lower undertones prevailed. Moderate to good demand for yearlings this week as the CME Live and Feeder Cattle contracts took on a bearish tone. Cash fed cattle retreating as well, down to 230.00, is causing great concern amongst cattle feeders as most cattle need 250.00 to break even. Hot weather this week caused some auction markets to cancel their feeder cattle sales as the high heat index is too hard on the cattle.

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.
