USDA Erickson/Spalding Wtd Avg 10/31 17:00 AMS_1853 MARS Ericson Livestock Market - Ericson, NE Ericson-Ericson,NE Livestock Weighted Average Report for 10/31/2026 - Final Auction This Week Last Reported Last Year ------------------------------------------------------------ Total Receipts: ------------------------------------------------------------ FEEDER CATTLE 1933 3670 0 Compared to last week steer calves over 400 lbs sold 10.00 to 20.00 lower except 550-600 lbs steer calves selling steady to 10.00 higher and heifer calves over 450 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good with very good demand for replacement type heifer calves from the buyers in the crowd and on the internet.
