As filed

No trends were established due to the absence of a reported sale last week. This week supply of feeder cattle was moderate. Demand was uneven, with condition and quality influencing buyer interest. Calves carrying excess flesh and heavy hair coats sold at a discount as buyers showed preference for cattle better suited for summer grazing and feeding conditions.

One grade step is worth $68.60/cwt here — about $421 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

25 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $491.70, low $390.12, median $433.64 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
