USDA Dickenson, ND Wtd Avg-Stockman's 02/05 16:45 AMS_2099 MARS Stockmen's Livestock Exchange - Dickinson, ND Stockmen's Livestock Exchange-Dickinson,ND Livestock Weighted Average Report for 02/05/2026 - Final Auction This Week Last Reported Last Year ------------------------------------------------------------ Total Receipts: ------------------------------------------------------------ FEEDER CATTLE 2959 2371 0 Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 lower, feeder heifers steady to firm. Very good demand remains on all weights of steers and heifers, however best demand was centered on those cattle that can fit backgrounding programs and for replacement quality heifers, of which there were many on offer. The market for replacement heifers was incredibly active as there is much optimism amongst cow/calf producers. Cattle feeders are feeling good too, with cash fed cattle last week topping at 241.00, but reports of 237.00-238.00 today and with cattle futures down 5.00 to 7.00, the market wasn't as sparky as last week. Several long strings of heavier steers and heifers, offered in full loads and, while the lighter cattle was mostly a package trade as large bunches of those kinds become harder to find. Flesh conditions light to moderate overall. Next reported feeder cattle auction will be Feb. 12, 2026. --------------------------------------------------------------- FEEDER CATTLE --------------------------------------------------------------- BEEF/DAIRY HEIFERS - Large 2 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 7 952-952 952 274-274 274 BEEF/DAIRY STEERS - Large 2 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 8 1048-1048 1048 300-300 300 HEIFERS - Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 57 1035-1035 1035 291.5-291.5 291.5 HEIFERS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 3 312-312 312 570-570 570 20 358-361 360 552.5-565 557.23 38 401-446 429 510-555 542.07 17 455-482 472 498-520 505.48 80 504-538 527 453-477 458.58 27 538-538 538 454.5-454.5 454.5 Replacement 80 561-591 570 419-450 440.59 110 602-645 614 400-424 415.67 39 617-648 634 399-425 409.56 Replacement 87 654-698 664 385-412 397.98 96 669-670 669 395-400 398.02 Replacement 151 653-684 671 2850-3200 3073.79 Replacement 43 701-732 713 363-391 378.63 Replacement 68 715-730 723 3575-3600 3585.9 Replacement 100 709-747 740 362-370 365.41 125 750-759 754 3600-3700 3659.71 Replacement 21 770-770 770 359-359 359 56 782-782 782 345.5-345.5 345.5 Replacement 32 813-813 813 3625-3625 3625 Replacement 12 953-953 953 292.5-292.5 292.5 HEIFERS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 7 1049-1049 1049 275-275 275 27 481-483 482 463-466 465.11 STEERS - Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 15 1092-1092 1092 297-297 297 STEERS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 67 455-498 484 525-557.5 545.15 53 513-543 526 500-540 517.1 90 570-598 579 460-485.5 472.67 123 607-646 634 424-475 444.32 251 652-696 674 406-429.5 423.51 307 713-749 726 381-407 396.95 226 753-799 781 365-381 376.45 64 813-825 818 359.5-369.5 363.75 63 867-867 867 353.5-353.5 353.5 STEERS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 7 534-534 534 474-474 474

AgHost Livestock Close

The livestock complex closed on opposite ends, with the cattle complex receiving additional technical support that drove the cattle contracts higher, but the lean hog complex continued to drift lower through the day's end.
