Compared to last week steers under 550 lbs sold 4.00 to 7.00 higher, 550 to 600 weights sold steady and over 600 lbs sold steady to 4.00 lower. Heifers under 550 lbs sold 2.00 higher, 550 to 850 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower and over 850 lbs sold 6.00 to 9.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good for feeder cattle with good demand for pairs and moderate demand for bred cattle. This week's feeder cattle receipts are roughly twice as high as a year ago because several strings of steers and heifers that were to be turned out on summer grass came to town due to the drought. Also, some cattlemen sold off a few cow/calf pairs and a few bred cows. Negotiated cash feedlot traded sold mostly steady on the week with live sales at 144.00 to 146.00 and dressed sales at 232.00. Farmers have been busy with spring planting through Friday. Much need moisture across several areas of the state at week's close has been welcomed by many. Still a long ways until the state is out of the drought but at least the summer grass will start to green up in many areas.

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.
