USDA Dickenson, ND Wtd Avg-Stockman's 03/19 17:40 AMS_2099 MARS Stockmen's Livestock Exchange - Dickinson, ND Stockmen's Livestock Exchange-Dickinson,ND Livestock Weighted Average Report for 03/19/2026 - Final Auction This Week Last Reported Last Year ------------------------------------------------------------ Total Receipts: ------------------------------------------------------------ FEEDER CATTLE 3665 1368 2672 Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 20.00 to 30.00 higher. A much larger offering, of high quality, light to moderate fleshed, home raised steers and heifers. Many long strings offered in full loads and multiple load lots. Many consignments of replacement quality heifers in the offering. Demand was very good throughout the sale. Whether is was light fleshed cattle for grass, heavier cattle for feeding, or replacement heifers, the market was incredibly active. Cattle buyers were eager to buy these good cattle while they have the chance, and were ready to compete heavily to secure their cattle needs as these larger offerings become more limited. The cattle futures complex was under pressure again, with Feeder Cattle futures off 3.00 to 6.00, but that didn't affect the market at the auction. Cattle feeders are holding out for a higher fat cattle market this week, as packers have pushed boxed beef prices up to 400.00, which helped to add support to the feeder cattle market. --------------------------------------------------------------- FEEDER CATTLE --------------------------------------------------------------- HEIFERS - Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 7 1036-1036 1036 283-283 283 HEIFERS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 19 495-496 496 485-488 486.74 44 509-547 535 455-472.5 461.91 134 550-597 574 422-458 447.69 138 609-644 628 406-431 416.43 41 661-661 661 392-392 392 438 651-698 672 382-427.5 401.18 Replacement 210 706-735 723 372-400 383.7 Replacement 77 738-738 738 368-368 368 13 759-794 772 343-344 343.4 108 770-793 779 357-402 384.18 Replacement 6 913-913 913 301-301 301 HEIFERS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 7 443-443 443 380-380 380 5 476-476 476 457.5-457.5 457.5 STEERS - Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 5 1066-1066 1066 303.5-303.5 303.5 STEERS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 5 429-429 429 505-505 505 3 488-488 488 490-490 490 52 518-541 525 485-525 515.24 11 551-589 568 475-499 487.69 245 607-647 621 426-473.25 462.38 275 650-684 670 423-455.5 438.01 266 712-747 737 390.5-413.5 405.01 298 750-791 770 374-400 386.56 546 800-846 824 349-381.75 370.86 130 879-895 887 355-356.5 355.74 55 941-941 941 320.5-320.5 320.5 129 965-986 975 315.75-330 322.85 STEERS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Cwt/Actual) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 24 569-595 585 440-456 450.91 9 659-659 659 430-430 430
