Receipts 13,823Last week 17,119Year ago 9,256

Compared to last week steers sold mostly steady. Heifers under 600 lbs sold steady, 600 to 900 lbs sold 7.00 to 10.00 higher and over 900 lbs sold steady. A diverse offering of cattle the week before Christmas from bawlers to weaned calves. Some cattle been running out in cornstalks or large trap pastures and were light to medium fleshed with others in background lots getting pushed and with the warm weather put on extra pounds of fat and sold with a discount. Buyers continue to look for cattle that had been preconditioned in the fall and most look for cattle vaccinated with a modified live vaccine. Nebraska feedlot trade was slow to kick off. Bulk of the trade was on Friday. For the week live sales sold 2.00 higher from 170.00 to 172.00 and dressed sales 3.00 to 4.00 higher at mostly 271.00 with a few at 272.00. Happy New Year!

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.
