Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Prices a little on the higher side compared to two weeks ago. Quality heifers had bangs tag so if producers wanted to bred them they could. Weather was pretty nice in the 60's but was very windy. Demand on feeders and replacement stock was moderate to good . Next sale March 15.

Nebraska weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Nebraska auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
