Receipts 18,993Last week 15,454Year ago 26,192

Compared to last week steers under 800 lbs sold mostly 2.00 lower, 8oo weights sold steady and over 900 lbs sold 9.00 lower. Heifers under 500 lbs sold steady, 500 to 700 lbs sold 9.00 to 10.00 lower and over 700 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Getting into the fall run and most buyers are looking for calves with at least two rounds of vaccinations. Some of these calves are trucked several hundred miles and co-mingled so a good vaccination program that includes a strong respiratory protocol is a bonus. Live feedlot sales sold 1.00 lower on the week at 183.00 and dressed sales sold steady to 2.00 lower from 288.00 to 290.00. Fall harvest is in full swing across the state as farmers are very busy getting crops to their bins, local elevator or the feedlot.

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.
