Bismarck, ND Mon Oct, 27 2025 North Dakota Weekly Cattle Auction Summary Weighted Average Report for 10/20/2025 Receipts: 8428 Last Week: 4372 Last Year: 7339 Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves 20.00 to 30.00 lower. Good demand for calves and yearlings but there was a lot of pressure on the market coming from the futures contracts. The futures had been volatile all week until Friday when the board opened limit lower, and closed that way. Cattle producers are facing great uncertainty now about the future, in spite of positive market fundamentals and strong consumer demand. Spring born calves continue to come to the auctions in Western ND in large numbers as the fall run continues. Cattle feeders are ready to buy these calves, but now it's very difficult to know at what price level to buy them at.
