As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle supply was light as excessive rainfall across the area left pasture conditions muddy. On a light test, feeder cattle sold unevenly. Feeder steers sold $15.00 lower to $8.00 higher. Feeder heifers weighing 300-550 lbs sold $15.00 higher, while feeder heifers over 550 lbs sold $15.00 lower. Feeder bulls sold $8.00 lower to $8.00 higher. Slaughter cattle supply was too light to establish a market trend.

One grade step is worth $28.76/cwt here — about $223 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $491.70, low $390.12, median $433.45 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
