Not enough comparable offerings for an adequate weekly market comparison. Only one sale reporting through the Christmas Holiday week. Demand was good for the offering on hand. All were longtime weaned calves with full vaccination protocol and some had been poured for parasite control. Nebraska feedlots traded live sales 2.00 higher at 230.00 and dressed sales sold steady from 356.00 to 358.00. Wishing every reader a Happy New Year!

17 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $507.55, low $445.19, median $479.42 across 17 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
