Compared to last week flyweight steers sold 5.00 lower, 500 to 800 lbs sold 4.00 to 8.00 higher and over 800 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers less than 900 lbs sold 4.00 to 7.00 higher. Demand was good for calves and feeder cattle. Very good demand for bred heifers and cows as buyers held their hands high and took ownership of the lots coming through the ring. Most cattlemen are short on mother cows and are trying to get back to par on numbers their pastures can carry for a grazing season. Hay carry over will be rather large for the first time in a few years. Nebraska feedlots traded show-list higher with live sales trading from 182.00 to 184.00 and dressed sales from 290.00 to mostly 292.00.

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.
