As filed

Compared to two weeks ago most weights of steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was good from start to finish. Nice early summer run of calves, feeder cattle, bred cows, pairs and slaughter cattle. Quite a few of the slaughter cows went back to the country. Next sale will be June 17th.

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.
