Compared to last week steer calves under 600 lbs sold 3.00 to 7.00 lower, 600 to 800 lbs sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher and over 800 lbs sold 2.00 lower. Heifer calves under 600 lbs sold steady, 600 to 800 lbs sold 5.00 to 6.00 lower and over 800 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good throughout the week. Quite a few of the farmer/feeder buyers are busy with fall work and have not been active buyers at the sales. Plus, this time of year out of state buyers are in Nebraska procuring loads of light weight calves to head to wheat pastures. With drought conditions in the Southern Plains green wheat pastures are very limited. Nebraska feedlots live and dress sales sold 2.00 higher from 146.00 to 148.00 and 230.00 respectively.

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.
