As filed

Compared to last Monday the feeder market was mostly steady with an average quality offering of mostly new crop calves. Feeder steers 350 lbs and under were mostly steady, while the 400-600 lbs steers were steady to 5.00 higher with a good supply and good demand. Yearling steers appeared steady but with limited head to head comparisons. Feeder heifers 400 lbs and under were steady to 5.00 higher with a good supply, while the 450-600 lbs heifers were steady to 5.00 lower or greater in spots with a good supply and moderate demand. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady to 3.00 higher with good demand.

One grade step is worth $133.64/cwt here — about $715 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $445.63, low $349.69, median $404.73 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
