Kearney, NE Mon Mar, 17 2025 Nebraska Weekly Livestock Auction Summary Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 3/10/2025 Current Previous Year Ago —————————— —————————— —————————— Total 23442 18774 20936 Feeder Cattle 23377 17904 20101 Replacement Cattle 65 870 835 Compared to last week steers less than 700 lbs sold 15.00 higher, over 700 lbs sold unevenly steady. Heifers under 500 lbs sold 7.00 higher, 500 to 700 lbs sold 8.00 to 10.00 higher over 700 lbs sold steady to 10.00 higher. Demand was mostly good for all offerings sold throughout the week. As the time sprung forward so did the prices of calves and feeder cattle. Most prices are already at new highs but somehow, the calf and feeder sales continue to go higher. Help from the CME feeder cattle boards, feeder index and live cattle boards continue to add optimism to the cattle sector. Feedlots appear to be mostly current, and packers know that market ready numbers more than likely will be getting tighter going forward. Packers tried to down play the market situation but came out on the short end of the stick as cattle feeders held tough through Friday and sold dressed cattle 8.00 to 10.00 higher at 325.00 and live sales sold 4.00 to 6.00 higher at 206.00.
