Compared to last week steers under 600 lbs sold 2.00 to 6.00 lower, over 600 lbs sold steady to 2.00 lower. Heifers sold unevenly steady on weights under 800 lbs. Over 800 lbs sold 2.00 higher on a thin test. Demand was moderate to good at reporting auctions. Sales in the central and eastern areas had quite a few farmer/feeders participating along with order and internet buyers across all locations. Some light calves and feeders headed out of state for grazing and feeding needs. Large supply of bred heifers and cows sold with several partial and complete dispersals. Feedlots traded dressed sales at 220.00 steady with last week and live sales sold steady to 2.00 lower on a light test from 138.00 to 140.00. Light to moderate snow across some areas Friday. Several ranchers appeared to be ok with the snow as pastures are very dry and this wet snow will soak into the ground and clear the air of dust.

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.
