Compared to last week, steer calves sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher and heifer calves sold unevenly steady. Yearling steers and heifers sold steady on a thin test. Demand was light to good for calves and good demand for the short supply of yearling cattle. With large sales of calves across the region buyers are spread out and some sales felt the effects of light buyer attendance at their sales this week. Most buyers at auctions have been order buyers as the true farmer feeder is still in the combine trying to get the late crop out before adverse weather stops them. Some ranchers in the Sandhills couldn't get precondition shots in their calves due the extremely wet pasture conditions. Feedlot lives sales sold steady on the week at 115.00 with a few up to 116.50 and dressed sales fully steady at 182.00 all on a light test.

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.
