Heifers sold by the head going back as replacements sold 300.00 per head more. Demand was good to very good. Quite a few heifers going back to the breeding pastures this summer. A lot of ranchers have sold their heifer crop the last couple of years and are needing to replace old cows on the ranch. Per say, expansion may not be happening as drought conditions are knocking on the door and ranchers are swapping old genetics for younger genetics in their herds. Feedlots held firm on asking prices and sold at higher money on the week on a Friday trade. Live sales sold 5.00 higher from 245.00 to 246.00 and dressed sales sold 4.00 higher at mostly 382.00

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.
