First reported feeder and replacement cow auction in a couple of weeks, a market trend is not applicable. Demand was good to very good throughout the week. Some BBQ special sales along with the summer schedule saw a lot of bidding action from in-house and internet buyers. Extreme heat index with high humidity did not deter buyers from back filling empty pens. Cost of gain should be under a dollar with interest and tight cattle supplies has boosted the market around the area the last few weeks. Nebraska feedlots traded live sales steady at 198.00 with dressed sales 2.00 lower at 312.00.

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.
