Heifers under 800 lbs sold 3.00 to 4.00 lower and over 800 lbs sold steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Feedlots sold dressed sales 2.00 higher at 292.00 and live sales sold 1.00 higher from 184.00 to 185.00. Many feedlots are completing silage chopping and some have started to put up high moisture corn for feed supply for the next 365 days. Some areas of the state received rain showers letting farmers shut down pivots as crops are nearing maturity. Several hay producers are on fourth of alfalfa and continue to put up grass hay and almost anything that will go through a big round baler.

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.
