USDA Hub City Livestock Wtd Averages

USDA Hub City Livestock Wtd Averages 09/17 15:30 AMS_2020 MARS Hub City Livestock Auction - Aberdeen, SD Hub City Livestock Auction-Aberdeen,SD Livestock Weighted Average Report for 09/17/2025 - Final Auction This Week Last Reported Last Year ------------------------------------------------------------ Total Receipts: ------------------------------------------------------------ FEEDER CATTLE 3500 2415 3253 Compared to last week: steers 850 to 899 lbs and 950 to 999 lbs steady to 2.00 lower, 1000 to 1049 lbs steady. Heifers 900 to 999 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Good to very good demand for yearlings again this week. The majority of the offering came right off grass and included quite a few strings and many loads. Flesh condition mostly light to moderate. A few consignments of cattle out of yards, quality and flesh condition made buyers more reserved bidders on these. An active market but slightly less enthusiasm than seen in recent weeks. Lower feeder and live cattle markets again today putting some pressure on the market. Rain forecasted for the rest of the week, silage harvest is in progress. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, September 24. --------------------------------------------------------------- FEEDER CATTLE --------------------------------------------------------------- HEIFERS - Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 10 1047-1047 1047 313-313 313 HEIFERS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 15 305-305 305 502.5-502.5 502.5 19 419-419 419 460-460 460 43 606-606 606 393-393 393 32 734-734 734 352.5-352.5 352.5 81 751-795 776 337.5-350 341.2 228 815-831 824 346-357.5 354.16 639 876-897 889 332-340.25 338.99 304 904-931 914 332.5-340.25 336.42 309 951-999 965 318-334 329.93 HEIFERS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 12 536-536 536 362.5-362.5 362.5 15 849-849 849 332-332 332 58 854-854 854 316-316 316 STEERS - Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 257 1005-1038 1015 345-354.25 350 85 1092-1097 1095 321.5-330 327.11 112 1101-1104 1103 330-330 330 21 1123-1123 1123 300-300 300 Fleshy STEERS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 6 450-450 450 420-420 420 12 672-694 683 377-381 379.03 7 732-732 732 377-377 377 17 788-799 793 387-390 388.75 35 803-848 820 364-376.5 371.7 216 869-899 891 349.5-361 353.41 115 920-936 928 345.5-350.75 347.99 60 954-954 954 338-338 338 Fleshy 421 976-998 989 350-356.75 351.97 STEERS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 43 794-795 795 325-341 332.81 11 883-883 883 324-324 324
