No comparison due to market closure last week for the Thanksgiving holiday. The buyer interest in all classes of feeder cattle was very good. The demand on slaughter cattle was moderate on a very plain offering.

One grade step is worth $22.67/cwt here — about $65 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
