As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 3.00-5.00 lower. Feeder heifers traded sharply higher. The demand for feeder steers today wasn't as strong but the buyers showed very good interest in a good quality heifer offering. Slaughter cows sold 6.00-8.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 1.00-3.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $41.61/cwt here — about $161 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.

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $227.14, low $187.85, median $211.00 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Kentucky weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Kentucky auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
