Nebraska Weekly Livestock Auction Summary

Mon Jul 31, 2023
USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Kearney, NE (LS-WH)
Receipts 9,273Last week 7,140Year ago 18,012

Compared to last week most lots of steers sold steady. Heifers under 600 lbs sold sharply higher, over 600 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good for cattle off summer grass with moderate demand for cattle coming out of background lots. Tick cooler weather across the state with several areas getting rain almost daily. Good to better quality hay is a tough commodity to find this year with all the moisture that it gets after the grass has been cut. Feedlot trade was very slow all week until Friday when buyers and sellers made a deal at 295.00 dressed and 188.00 live.

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.
