SF_LS795 Sioux Falls, SD Mon. Dec 03, 2018 USDA-SD Dept Ag Market News South Dakota Weekly Auction Summary – For the Week Ending Dec 01, 2018 Receipts: 30,863 Last Week 5,621 Last Year 26,235 Results of: Ft. Pierre, Herreid, Hub City, Mitchell, Mobridge, St. Onge, and Sioux Falls Regional. Compared to last week: Steer calves unevenly steady, heifer calves under 550 lbs 5.00 to 7.00 lower, over 550 lbs not well tested last week. Yearling steers and heifers in a narrow comparison 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Demand moderate to good for calves, with the best demand seen before the end of the week as a very large winter storm was predicted to hit the region. Good demand for yearlings, interest in yearlings was spurred along as the cash fed cattle market had advanced back above 115.00 in many areas. A large offering of calves, buyers remain cautious about buying a calf that hasn’t had fall booster vaccinations. The best demand for a calf is a long time weaned one that is heavy enough to reach harvest weight before the summer months. Cattle feeders resisted lower packer bids all week until late Friday where they had to raise live bids to 118.00 in many areas. Slaughter cows 4.00 to 5.00 higher, instances to 10.00 higher on Breakers, bulls 2.00 to 4.00 higher.
