Compared to last week, flyweight steers sold sharply higher, 500 to 700 lbs sold 15.00 to 20.00 higher, 700 to 1000 lbs sold 4.00 to 10.00 higher, over 1000 lbs sold sharply higher. Flyweight heifers sold sharply higher, 500 to 700 lbs sold 20.00 higher, over 700 lbs sold 10.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for all offering of calves, feeders, fall bred cows and pairs. Scattered rain showers helped take some anxiety off the hay market this week but in the back of livestock owners minds they all know more moisture is needed to make it till fall. Summer grass and meadows slow to grow but with recent rains and some warm weather should help. How high will it go, is a common talk on the feedlot sales. Last week another market top came to be with live sales selling 4.00-5.00 higher at mostly 235.00 with dressed sales 3.00-5.00 higher from 365.00-370.00.

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.
