Compared to last week steers under 700 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher, over 700 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower. Heifers under 600 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher, over 600 lbs sold 2.00 to 6.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good with large crowd of buyers on hand and the internet was also active. Sharply lower CME cattle boards in early week trading took a little of the momentum off the calf and especially the feeder cattle market at early week sales. Some of the cattle at various auctions displayed extra fill due to weather changes taking a little money off those offerings. Quite a few lots across the state also showed a little extra flesh due to the great feeding weather, top genetics the weaned calves really gained and performed well this fall. Nebraska feedlots slaughter steers and heifers sold live sales 1.00 lower at 156.00 and dressed sales sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower at 247.00.

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.
