Wildfires isn't a term used in the state very often but due to misfortune it was used a lot this week. Around 746,000 acres of grassland was burn in four different fires. Al lot of ranchers are faced with some difficult decisions as summer grass pastures are probably not going to be able to utilize especially in the Sandhills. The fragile root systems will need a lot of moisture for the grass to flourish this summer growing season. The hardgrass range might be able to turn out later in the summer with ample rain. Quite a lot of bales of hay were also lost in this weeks fire. Area feedlots traded show list lower on the week with live sales 5.00 lower at 235.00 and dressed sales 8.00 lower at 372.00.

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.
