Nebraska Weekly Livestock Auction Summary

Mon Jan 2, 2023
USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Kearney, NE (LS-WH)
Receipts 28,425Last week 10,626Year ago 49,934

Compared to last week steers under 600 lbs sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher, 600 lbs offering sold 10.00 higher, 700 lbs sold 6.00 higher with 800 lbs offerings 1.00 higher. Heifers under 600 lbs sold 6.00 to 10.00 higher, 600 lbs 10.00 higher, over 700 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was mostly good for all weights on hand. Some auctions had to move to a different day of the week due to another blizzard on Tuesday that brought rain, ice, and snow. Nebraska feedlots traded dressed sales steady on the week at 252.00. Not enough live sales for a comparison. Mud or tag will be a concern in the next few weeks as feedlot pens are a mess and will take some time for them to dry back up. Slightly mudding cattle can carry around 5 lbs of mud on the hide. This can take off .50% from the dressing percent of an animal. Half of percent less in dressing percent would be around 1.25 per cwt less in the price the producer is paid.

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.
