Compared to last week, steers less than 700 lbs sold sharply higher, over 700 lbs sold steady to 10.00 higher. Heifers less than 600 lbs sold sharply higher, over 600 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for this week's short run. Quite a few local, out of state and internet buyers at the auctions. Demand was also good for the short supply of bred cows and heifers that hit the market. Yearling operations continue to back fill empty lots with light weight calves. With recent rains some buyer from the Southern Plains filled the seats and sent calves that way for winter grazing. Feedlots received a Thanksgiving gift with a higher market as live sales sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher from 190.00 to 192.00 and dressed sales sold 5.00 higher at 295.00. Some of the live sales are heading south for slaughter. Note, bulk of the calves less than 600 lbs are not weaned.

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.
