As filed

Compared to last Monday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers 600 lbs and under were 8.00 to 10.00 higher or greater in several spots with a good supply and strong demand. Yearling steers were mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher with a moderate supply, while the yearling heifers appeared sharply higher but with limited comparisons. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.

One grade step is worth $73.42/cwt here — about $259 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $445.63, low $349.69, median $406.14 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
