Compared to last week steer calves less than 700 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher. Yearlings over 700 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher. Heifer calves less than 700 lbs sold mostly steady with 5 weights trading 4.00 higher. Yearling heifers sold 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good for calves with good demand for the short supply of yearling cattle and bred cows. Most calves were hide, hair and running gear condition as they came out of very dry range conditions, living off mommas' milk and top-quality genetics. Most calves hitting the scale are roughly 20 to 40 lbs lighter than expected. Yearling operators have had a profitable year and are eager to get these light calves bought while they are available. Feedlots pushed the market up with live 3.00 to 4.00 higher from 190.00 to 192.00 and dressed sales mostly 2.00 higher to 6.00 higher from mostly 298.00 to 302.00.

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.
