Compared to last week steer calves less than 700 lbs sold unevenly steady, over 700 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher. Heifer calves less than 700 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher, over 700 lbs sold 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good for calves, feeder cattle and for spring calving bred cows. Bulk of the fresh bawling calves had fall precondition vaccinations. The fresh bawling calf market backed up a tick midway through the week as winds blew 25 mph and dust was horrible. Some buyers pulled orders back as they didn't want to send bawlers into the dustbowl weaning pens. Buy weeks close, the calf market had rebounded after a very light sprinkle of rain here and there. Feedlot sales mostly steady on the week with dressed prices at 296.00 and live sales from 187.00 to 188.00.

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.
