SF_LS758 Sioux Falls, SD Thu Dec 13, 2018 USDA-SD Dept of Ag Market News Mitchell Livestock Auction Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 12/13/2018 Receipts: 7883 Last Week Ago: 3942 Year Ago: 8583 Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Yearling steers and heifers too lightly tested last week to offer a good comparison with this week’s much larger offering. Good to very good demand for these long strings of yearlings, many full loads and multiple load lots along with many packages to put together. Flesh ranged from light to moderate plus, the market was active on all conditions. Quality varied as there were long strings of very attractive, high quality cattle and there were also strings of plainer cattle for those looking to purchase at a lower price point. Good demand for this large offering of very attractive calves. The market was active on calves, equally so for those weaned vs. unweaned, if the flesh is light on the unweaned calves. 68 percent were steers; 32 percent heifers. 87 percent weighing over 600 lbs. Next week expecting 4,000 feeder cattle.
