As filed

Today at Fairview, no price comparison due to the limited supply of the last feeder special three weeks ago. A well attended sale before the summer break drove good demand and active trade for a mostly attractive offering, with feeder steers over 600lbs trading with a notable higher undertone. Feeder heifers 400-600lbs following the same trend.

One grade step is worth $63.11/cwt here — about $431 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 900–1000 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

14 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $492.86, low $402.17, median $466.36 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
