Compared to last week steers under 500 lbs sold 3.00 higher, 500 to 800 lbs sold 15.00 higher, 800 to 900 lbs sold 10.00 higher and over 900 lbs sold 3.00 higher. Most lots of heifers under 800 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Over 800 lbs sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for all offerings throughout the week. Rather large supple of calves and yearlings for this time of year. Some cattlemen might be selling grass cattle to save available grazing for their cow herds as the bulk of the state is very dry. Range fires were the normal last week, with low humidity and high winds and a spark from somewhere burned thousands of acres of grass and range land mostly in the central areas of the state. Nebraska feedlots had a spark too but, in a very good way. Live sales jumped upward as packers continue to line up numbers and seek cattle that will grade Choice. Live sales sold 9.00 to 10.00 higher from 182.00 to 186.00 and dressed sales sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher at 290.00.

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.
