Supply of feeder cattle this week was light, with moderate demand noted, primarily on plainer quality offerings. No price trends were established due to the absence of a reported sale last week.

One grade step is worth $23.00/cwt here — about $44 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 800–900 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

27 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $407.35, low $350.41, median $388.26 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Arkansas weighted averages

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Arkansas auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
