As filed

Compared to last Saturday: No trend on feeder steers due to low comparable receipts. However a much higher undertone was noted. Feeder heifers under 600lbs sold sharply higher. Feeder heifers over 600lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Good demand for all classes of feeder calves. Slaughter cows sold steady. Slaughter bulls sold steady on a light test.

One grade step is worth $74.62/cwt here — about $289 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.

20 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $421.27, low $357.73, median $388.77 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
