Nebraska Weekly Livestock Auction Summary

USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Kearney, NE (LS-WH)

Receipts 2,691Last week 12,274Year ago 6,231

Compared to last week on comparable offerings of yearling steers sold steady. Yearling heifers sold 6.00 higher on a thin test with a lower undertone on fall calves. Demand was good for all offerings. Light receipts this week with only two auction markets having a reported sale. With low cattle numbers available to be placed on feed several feedlots in Nebraska continue to add bunk space to their feedlots! Nebraska feedlot trade was slow going. Packers purchasing cattle a little differently on a cash basis. Not wanting to make the weekly weighted average higher, they purchased some dressed FOB and live delivered cattle at a higher price and these lots do not make the weekly weighted average price. So far for this week live sales have been mostly at 188.00 to 190.00 and dressed sales at 295.00.

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.
