Compared to last week, 800 to 1000 lbs steers and heifers sold steady to 9.00 higher. Selling condition of the yearlings coming off grass was in the buyers favor as most loads sold in optimal flesh and fill for going into the feedlot (green and empty). One consignment had 11 loads of 9 weight steers in at one shot and the buyer took them all. Cattle numbers appear to be in short supply across the region and when a buyer can back fill several pens with the alike cattle they are not going to pass that up, even when the cattle are costing over 3000.00 per head sitting at the auction market for yearling steers. Cash feedlot trade in Nebraska steady to 1.00 lower on live sales at 240.00 and dressed sales sold steady at 380.00.
