Compared to last week steer calves sold steady and yearling feeders sold steady to 2.00 higher. Heifer calves sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher and yearlings sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good. The start of the spring calve run is upon the Nebraska sale barns with some calves having fall precondition shots. As, the fall goes on, those fall vaccinations will become very important to prospective buyers as most weaning pens are dry and dusty. As October rolls around next week, most buyers are aware that yearlings will be in short supply. This made order and farmer/feeders bid readily at auctions for those cattle pushing the yearling market higher. Bulk of the yearlings continue to come out of short range and should have good compensatory gains. Buyers were readily bidding on preg checked open heifers on the market and these "front end heifers" will feed about as good as a steer. Some reported sales on MPR for the Nebraska feedlots were reported at 105.00 live and 165.00 dressed. These prices would be a tick higher that last week's market.

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.
