Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs sold 5.00 to 9.00 higher, over 600 lbs sold 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Heifers under 700 lbs sold 4.00 to 6.00 lower and over 700 lbs sold steady. Demand was moderate to good for calves and feeder cattle. Rather large supply of feeder cattle on the market the last full week of 2022 due to blizzard conditions in the North Central area of Nebraska the previous two weeks. Many ranchers are short on winter feed and decided they needed to sell their weaned calves to save feed for the bred cows at the ranch. Most lots of cattle sold with condition in the buyers favor due to the harsh weather the last couple of weeks. Large run of bred heifers and cows sold at the Burwell Livestock Holiday Cow Classic with several loads going to out of state buyers. Large crowd on hand with several bidders using DV Auction and Cattle USA to procure loads from their home office.

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.
