Receipts 29,743Last week 40,733Year ago 42,920

Compared to last week flyweight steers sold 9.00 higher, 500 lbs sold 1.00 higher with feeder cattle sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Heifers under 600 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher and over 600 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was good for grass type cattle and replacement heifers with moderate to good demand for feedlot placements. Receipts were curtailed at early week sales as heavy snow limited travel from Monday to Wednesday in some areas of the state. Many consignments of cattle could not make it to the marketplace and should arrive in town this week. Nebraska feedlots traded dressed sales 5.00 higher at 178.00 and live sales sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher at 113.00. NASS released their annual Cattle Inventory report and called it down slightly from last January. All cattle and calves at 93.60 million head compared to 93.8 million head on January 01, 2020.

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.
