Not enough comparable offerings from two weeks ago for a market comparison. Light run on bawling calves and some yearlings off short dry grass. Demand was good.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
Nothing removed and nothing rounded — the same lots as the USDA report, with per-head values added. Grouped by class and set lightest first; USDA files them in sale-ring order.

This sale against other markets
Nebraska weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Nebraska auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
Not enough comparable offerings from two weeks ago for a market comparison. Light run on bawling calves and some yearlings off short dry grass. Demand was good.

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.
