Nebraska Weekly Livestock Auction Summary

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

Receipts 26,252Last week 30,157Year ago 23,232

Compared to last week calves under 500 lbs sold 3.00 lower, 500 to 700 lbs sold 7.00 to 10.00 lower and over 700 lbs sold 6.00 to 8.00 lower. Heifer calves under 700 lbs sold 7.00 to 10.00 lower, 700 to 800 lbs sold 7.00 lower, 800 weight yearling sold steady on a thin test. Demand was light to good depending on the weight, the type, vaccination and what the order called for. Sharp losses throughout the week on the CME cattle boards recked havoc across the state at all auctions taking valuable money away from the producer that sells one time a year. Feedlot trade live sales sold 3.50 lower at 181.50 and dressed sales sold 5.00 lower at 287.00. Some farmers continue to struggle combining corn as dry down has been very slow. Some reports to this office corn is still in the 18 to 20 percent moisture range in the central parts of the state. Corn planted after May 1 with a fairly long mature season has been the corn drying the slowest.

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.
