USDA Hub City Livestock Wtd Averages 07/30 14:25 AMS_2020 MARS Hub City Livestock Auction - Aberdeen, SD Hub City Livestock Auction-Aberdeen,SD Livestock Weighted Average Report for 07/30/2025 - Final Auction This Week Last Reported Last Year ------------------------------------------------------------ Total Receipts: ------------------------------------------------------------ FEEDER CATTLE 2351 2150 0 No sale last week: compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 1000 to 1099 lbs 10.00 higher. Heifers not well compared. Very good demand for today's offering. A few packages offered, including a few tested open heifers, with the rest of the offering selling in loads and strings. A wide range in flesh condition today as there were quite a few warmed up yard cattle as well as some of the first cattle coming off grass, flesh condition from light to heavy. Quality on loads and strings mostly attractive, more plain to average cattle in packages. An active market with plenty of eager bidders. A huge amount of optimism in the industry right now with all signs pointing to an outstanding fall and winter marketing season. Quite a bit of precipitation last week has most areas sitting well for moisture and crops and pastures look very good, however there are still pastures with dry dugouts and waterholes. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale. --------------------------------------------------------------- FEEDER CATTLE --------------------------------------------------------------- HEIFERS - Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 34 1026-1026 1026 296-296 296 52 1040-1040 1040 266.5-266.5 266.5 Fleshy 105 1052-1052 1052 261.5-266.5 263.98 48 1097-1097 1097 240.5-240.5 240.5 Fleshy 62 1182-1186 1185 240.5-242 240.96 46 1206-1206 1206 240.5-240.5 240.5 HEIFERS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 11 624-624 624 321-321 321 8 698-698 698 342-342 342 42 745-745 745 335.5-335.5 335.5 38 773-773 773 318-318 318 185 930-949 945 304-322.25 321.67 59 952-952 952 322.25-322.25 322.25 STEERS - Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 418 1000-1042 1016 307-320.5 315.91 426 1054-1094 1070 301.25-310 303.65 100 1101-1112 1107 310-310 310 STEERS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 45 827-827 827 350-350 350 180 922-945 937 343.75-344 343.83 261 964-999 987 314.75-321 320.51 STEERS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 10 621-621 621 327-327 327
