That historic eight-weight price is also just the second time in history that eight-weight cattle have broken the $400 mark.<\/p>\n<p>These numbers may not be a surprise to producers however, as prices have boomed since August. Producers have experienced growing pains to reach these numbers, though. Droughts across the Midwest from 2020-2023 led to a significant loss of forage, grass, and a spike in input costs. These factors led to liquidation of cattle by many producers, which in-turn led to national cattle inventory dropping to levels not seen since the 1950s.<\/p>\n<p>The good news for beef producers is that demand has stayed relatively unchanged. Now prices all over the country are regularly resetting the bar. Places like Joplin, Missouri; Valentine, Nebraska; Pratt, Kansas; Mitchell, South Dakota, and more have all broken barn or state records in the last month alone.<\/p>\n<p>With Nebraska leading the nation in seven and eight-weight steer prices this week, the record-setting trend could only continue in Cornhusker sale barns.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Chadrad-Ad-High-Quality-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"   width=\"729\" height=\"90\" style=\"display: inline-block; max-width: 100%; height: auto;\"\/>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Via Crawford Livestock Market Facebook Last Friday, the Crawford Livestock Market set 13 national records as the beef&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":195912,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[64,63,99,164],"class_list":["post-195911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business","tag-economy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195911\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/195912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
