No trend due to being closed for Christmas and New Years holidays. Very good demand for all feeder classes in todays sale.

One grade step is worth $109.71/cwt here — about $526 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

32 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $490.69, low $400.18, median $452.54 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
