Compared to last week steers under 700 lbs sold 7.00 to 10.00 higher, 700 weight steers sold 5.00 lower and over 800 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Heifers under 600 lbs sold 4.00 to 8.00 higher, 600 to 800 lbs sold unevenly steady and over 800 lbs sold 1.00 higher. Demand was good at area auctions with active internet buying. Another very dry week with only spotty rain showers reported across the state. Last Thursday the US Drought monitor placed most of the state in the extreme category. Most of this area has a large supply of summer range that might not get used as fires and dryness will limit summer grazing. Some producers could be between a rock and hard spot as limited hay supplies prevail and might not get to turn out till late June that is if rain comes in May. Feedlot trade in Nebraska sold live sales 2.00 to 7.00 lower than last week at 178.00 and dressed sales sold 1.00 to 4.00 lower from 283.00 to 286.00.

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.
