Compared to last week, steer calves sold 6.00 to 12.00 higher, with the heavier steer calves getting back all of last week's losses. Yearling steers sold unevenly steady. Heifers less than 600 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher, over 600 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Demand was good. Majority of the calves had fall precondition shots. Heifer calf offering not as much as last week, but more yearling heifers were on offer this week. Bullish Cattle on Feed report was Friday afternoon with On feed at 100 pct of a year ago; Placements at 88 pct and Marketings at 93 pct. Feedlot trade was at a standstill all week until late Friday afternoon where feedlots sold limited amount of negotiated cash cattle. Live sales at 228.00 to 228.50 and dressed sales from 355.00 to 365.00. Harvest continues to roll on. Good weather the past couple weeks has put a dent into acreage, however some elevators in the Midwest are running into storage issues as they wait on trains to get the harvest out to end users. Rain coming in this week will slow things down considerably as the days continue to get shorter and drying days become harder and harder to find.

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.
