That time of year where the bulk of the receipts are bawling calves coming right off the cow. Most consignments would have precondition vaccinations that the buyer is seeking. Especially, the respiratory shots. Feedlot cash trade sold live sales 1.00 to 2.00 higher from 186.00 to 187.00 and dressed sales 2.00 higher at 294.00.

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.
