Compared to last week steers under 600 lbs sold 1.00 to 5.00 higher, over 600 lbs sold 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Heifers under 600 lbs sold 4.00 higher, over 600 lbs sold 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand was mostly moderate to good. Winter blizzard blew on Wednesday and dumped from 9" to 22" of heavy wet snow across the state with most in the Central areas. This winter storm cut receipts back at several auction markets. Some auctions moved their livestock sales till later in the week to accommodate producers and buyers. Deep snow in receiving pens that will eventually turn to mud was the main reason for the drop in the markets this week. Plus, a sluggish fat cattle sale didn't help the feeder market as cattle had a hard time getting moved from feedlot to slaughter. Feedlot trade live sales 1.00 to 2.00 lower at 155.00 live and dressed sales 2.00 to 4.00 lower at mostly 248.00 few at 249.00.

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.
