Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers and heifers sold 10.00-12.00 higher. Today's offering contained larger groups and several weaned packages along with the cooler temperatures increased demand across all classes of feeder calves. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 4.00-5.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $41.21/cwt here — about $197 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 700–800 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

29 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $485.45, low $370.83, median $446.12 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
