Compared to last week flyweight steers sold sharply higher, 500 to 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 9.00 higher, over 700 lbs sold steady to 6.00 higher. Heifers sold 5.00 to 8.00 higher, except 900 lbs sold steady. Demand for wheat grazers or summer grass and replacement heifers was very good with good demand for feeder cattle. Loads of cattle headed out of the state to "greener" pastures. Some local cattlemen continue to fill lots with cattle suited for summer grass and for a finishing ration. Pen conditions are muddy in a big area of the state. One would think it would soften the demand for feeders but that hasn't been the case so far. NASS released the annual cattle inventory last Wednesday stating the lowest number of cattle since 1961. Nebraska feedlots traded show list a tick higher on the week. Dressed sales sold 3.00 higher at 280.00 and live sales sold 1.00 higher from 176.00 to 178.00. Still not high enough for the pounds of loss from each market ready animal from the winter storms two to three weeks ago.

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.
