Direct trading was inactive in both reporting regions.
Contacts are busy receiving or delivering video cattle.
Some contacts have switched to trying to buy calves coming through area 
auctions.
Some calves are selling a little earlier and some what lighter than last 
year from the drought conditions they have experienced all summer.
Feedlot trade in Nebraska live sales steady to 2.00 lower from 220.00 
to 222.00 and live sales steady to 5.00 lower at 345.00.
Really nice slow rains prevailed across most of Nebraska the last seven days.
However, this moisture has brought fall harvest to a halt in a large area.
Some soybean pods are starting to pop due to the excessive moisture and 
the beans are hitting the ground.
Also, some corn has started to sprout on the ear in some areas.
Noted this is the second wettest September on the books.
But very good ground moisture going into winter and it will help with 
green up in the spring.
Have a great weekend!.
