Compared to last week not enough light weight calves for a market comparison, feeders over 700 lbs sold mostly steady to 3.00 lower. Most weights of heifers sold steady excepts 600-700 lbs offerings sold 4.00 higher. With the CME cattle boards displaying a gloomy outlook the last quarter the demand for big yearlings off of grass was good at all reporting auctions the last seven days. Most of the yearlings are big framed, medium flesh and feedlots will be able to make the cattle end weights fairly big hoping they can make a "wash" at harvest time. Feedlot trade very slow before the Labor Day Holiday. Feedlots were priced at steady money with last week but, moderate trade has occurred at lower money on the week. So, far live sales sold from 104.00-108.00 and dressed sales have ranged between 165.00-175.00. Hope everyone has a safe and fun Labor Day weekend!

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.

Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Nebraska barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
