Several top quality, officially calfhood vaccinated (OCV) heifers going back to the country for replacements was noted on this weeks report. Cattlemen or cattlewomen are optimistic that mother nature will give moisture as we head into spring for forages to sprout and grow. Overall, most of the state is abnormally dry with pockets reported as moderately dry. The lack of winter moisture is ok, as livestock owners can save hay piles for use down the road. Packers paid more for feedlot show list, as dressed sales bounced 4.00 higher at 222.00 and live sales went 2.00 to 3.00 higher at 138.00-140.00.

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.
