Compared to last week steer calves less than 700 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher, 7 weights 4.00 lower, over 800 lbs 10.00 higher. Heifer calves less than 1.00 higher, 6 weights sold 8.00 higher and over 700 lbs sold unevenly steady to 5.00 higher on some. Demand was moderate to good across the state. Buyers continue to seek calves with fall precondition shots. Few, more receipts this week than a year ago as many cattlemen are selling bawlers instead of weaning their calf crop. Feedlots traded show list a little lower than last week with dressed sales steady to 2.00 lower from 296.00 to 298.00 and live sales sold 2.00 lower at 190.00. Light rain across different areas of the state sure has brighten moods of many in the ag sector.

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.
