Livestock Market Reports & Prices

Sioux Falls Regional Livestock Auction
Worthing, SD

Market information provided by USDA

18 Dec '24

Compared to last week: Slaughter steers 4.00 to 5.00 higher, heifers 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Holstein steers not well compared. Very good demand for this nice offering of very high quality grading steers and heifers. The weights of steers and heifers remain very heavy, but that does not deter packer buyers as these cattle are extremely high quality. The market was very active, mixed colored cattle and odd lots sold just as easily as the full loads. Dressed cost looks to be around that 310.00 mark, lower CME Live Cattle futures didn't affect the price at the auction. Traditional weight slaughter lambs steady to 2.00 higher, non-traditional weights 10.00 to 30.00 higher, except 90-100 lbs 20.00 lower. Very good demand for all weights of slaughter lambs, many long strings in the offering, with several half loads and 1 full load of lambs. Slaughter ewes 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Good demand for the replacement ewes.
