As filed

Compared to last Monday the feeder market was mixed with an average quality offering. Feeder steers 300 lbs and under appeared sharply higher with a light test, while the 350-600 lbs steers were unevenly steady with a good supply and good demand. Yearling steers were 3.00 to 5.00 lower with a good supply and moderate demand. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were 5.00 to 10.00 higher or greater in spots with a good supply and strong demand. Slaughter cows were steady to 3.00 higher with a good supply and increasing interest in cows returning to the farm. Slaughter bulls were steady to 3.00 higher with a good supply and strong demand for higher dressing bulls.

One grade step is worth $92.37/cwt here — about $390 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 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.
