Compared to two weeks ago, steers under 550 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher, 550 to 750 lbs sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher and over 750 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifers sold sharply higher with most lots under 650 lbs trading 20.00 higher on the week. 700 lbs heifers sold 7.00 higher. Over 750 lbs sold 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Some lots of cattle displayed a little extra flesh as the winter temperatures have been favorable to background livestock. Demand was very good throughout the week and its usually is the first couple of weeks after the Christmas and New Year's holidays. Nebraska feedlots saw an upward trend on market ready steers and heifers. Live and dressed sales sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher at 173.00 to 175.00 live and from 274.00 to 275.00 dressed.

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.
