Nebraska Weekly Livestock Auction Summary

Mon Sep 18, 2023
USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Kearney, NE (LS-WH)
Receipts 12,786Last week 17,330Year ago 18,362

Compared to last week steer calves under 600 lbs sold 6.00 to 9.00 higher, 600-800 sold unevenly steady, over 800 lbs sold 1.00 to 5.00 lower. Heifer calves sold steady, over 600 lbs sold steady to 7.00 higher. Demand was good with several buyers bidding readily for all classes of cattle. That time of year where buyers start looking for calves with fall precondition shots. Feedlots that do not like to wean fresh calves have jumped into the market this week across the reporting areas trying to buy yearling cattle. Feedlots traded show-list at steady money from 184.00 to 185.00 live and at 292.00 dressed. Silage chopping is winding down in Nebraska and some feedlots have moved to high moisture corn. The start-up has been slow on high moisture corn is till rather wet and rain showers have slowed harvest down.

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.
