USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Kearney, NE (LS-WH)

Receipts 23,428Last week 23,670Year ago 23,467

Compared to last week steers less than 700 lbs sold 3.00 to 15.00 lower, yearlings over 700 lbs sold steady to 10.00 higher. Heifers less than 700 lbs sold mostly steady to 7.00 higher on light weights. Yearling heifers sold 20.00 lower. Demand was light to good. Calf market held pretty firm until the week's close when the market fell off pretty sharp at those auctions. CME cattle boards were lower most of the week. Along with muddy weaning pens and some sick calves around buyers desire to lay in more fresh calves at current levels was not in their playing cards. Some late week calf prices roughly 20.00 lower in places compared to last weeks sales. Feed lot pens in some areas are muddy and deep for going into winter and with big, heavy fat cattle trudging though them feedlot managers took early cash bids to get cattle out of the mud. Live sales sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower from 223.00 to 226.00 and dressed sales sold 3.00 to 10.00 lower from 348.00 to 355.00.

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.
