Compared to last week steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Demand was good with cattle offerings not as attractive as last week. Some cow/calf pairs were split, and calves were sold by the head with a few early winter bawling calves sold by the pound. Buyers continue to seek cattle to back fill empty pens or ship some off to summer grass. Nebraska slaughter steers and heifers sold 4.00 to 7.00 lower at 185.00 live and dressed sales sold 4.00 lower at 296.00. These feedlot sales continue to be at a record high and most lots of cattle should be selling in the black.

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.
