Compared to last week, steers under 700 lbs sold 7.00 to 9.00 higher, over 700 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 lower. Most lots of heifers sold unevenly steady, except over 800 lbs sold 4.00 lower. Rather large offering this week with quite a few weaned and bawling fall calves with some yearling cattle in the mix. Only a few cow/calf pairs on the report. Demand was good for light weight cattle with moderate to good for feeder cattle. Weekly auction receipts will sharply decline as reporting auctions have moved to their summer schedule of every other week, or once a month for special sales. Nebraska feedlots sold live sales steady with last week at mostly 120.00 to 121.00 and dressed sales from 190.00 to 191.00. Next release date will be June 1, due to the Memorial day Holiday on Monday.

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.
