As filed

No trends due to market being closed last week for the Labor Day holiday. However, the feeder market appeared spotty and cheaper in spots as increased numbers of fat bawling calves are hitting the market and buyers are discounting accordingly. Yearling cattle appeared mostly steady with a good supply and good demand. There was a good supply of slaughter cattle and buyers showed demand.

One grade step is worth $91.65/cwt here — about $562 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.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $507.01, low $410.51, median $458.69 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
