Compared to last week steer calves under 500 lbs sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher, over 500 lbs sold mostly steady. Heifer calves sold mostly steady with some flyweights trading 2.00 higher. Not enough comparable yearling receipts for a market comparison. Demand improved this week at most auctions as the farmer/feeder and summer yearling operators are in the buying mood. Plus, more lots of weaned calves are coming to town and after they get a brand, few vaccinations these calves can be kicked right back out for winter grazing. Feedlots live sales sold steady to 1.00 higher from 115.00-117.00 and dressed sales sold 2.00 higher at 184.00. Corn Harvest was in full swing until rain showers blew across some parts of the state on Wednesday as some areas reported .50 to.75 inch of rain. NASS reported corn harvest at 85 percent complete as of November 17 this is behind the 5-year average of 91 percent complete for this time of year. Nebraska LPGMN office wishes everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

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.
