Not enough light weight calves for a market comparison. Overall, the heifer market has not dropped off as sharply as some weights of steers. Very large supply of feeders with some spring and fall calves hitting the market. Feedlot trade slide backwards again with live sales 6.00 lower at 184.00 and dressed sales 3.00 to 6.00 lower from 293.00 to 295.00.

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.
