Mitchell Livestock Auction
MITCHELL, SD
Market information provided by USDA
07 MAY '26
Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers 10.00 to 15.00 higher, instances to 20.00 higher. Feeder heifers mostly steady, except 700-750 lbs and 850-900 lbs 10.00 higher. Very good demand for this large offering of backgrounded yearlings and weaned fall calves. The market was very active as reports of cash fed cattle came in at 260.00 this week. Quality was very attractive throughout the offering, however flesh on the yearlings varied greatly, from light and just right, to very heavy fleshed. Many full loads, including multiple load lots throughout the sale, allowing buyers to make full pens of uniform cattle. The fall calves were very light to moderate fleshed and sold very easily. Volatility returned to the CME cattle futures complex but strong cash market fundamentals gave support to the market at the auction.
