Compared to last week, steer calves sold steady to 2.00 lower. Heifer calves under 550 lbs sold steady over 550 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Yearling weight steers and heifers sold steady. Demand was mostly good. With most auctions reporting active bidding and buying from the internet. This time of year, there is a wide assortment of calves coming to town. The bulk of the calves are still bawlers with some weaned ones here and there. Some calves have precondition shots and others only springtime vaccinations programs. Some weaned calves have been pushed hard to gain weight and display extra flesh. Especially, lately as daytime temps have been near record highs this month instead of the cool temps that usually prevail in November. Nebraska feedlots traded most of their cash show-list at steady money with last week. Lives sales traded at 110.00 and dressed sales at 172.00.

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.
