On the lightweight heifers sold 35.00 higher, 500 weights sold 20.00 higher, 600 to 800 lsb sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher and over 800 lbs sold 9.00 to 13.00 higher. Demand was good to very good the first full week of the year. Heavy supply of cattle across the state did not deter buyers from stepping up and filling loads to head south for winter grazing or to stay local for this summer turnout. Some cattle will go to the surrounding states to be placed on feed. Unbelievable prices going back to the rancher this year with some top quality replacement heifers going back to the breeding pastures this summer. Feedlot trade saw live sales steady at 232.00 and dressed sales sold 5.00 higher at 265.00.

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.
