Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Trade activity and demand was moderate. Feeder steers and heifers sold sharply lower across all weight classes due to last week having a greater offering compared to this week having a sharp decline in offerings. Boner slaughter cows of average dressing sold 1.00 higher. Lean cows of average dressing sold 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls of average dressing sold 3.00 higher. The next feeder calf and slaughter cow sale will be next Tuesday April 15, 2025.

One grade step is worth $55.00/cwt here — about $188 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

13 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $498.81, low $446.57, median $463.38 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
