As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold sharply lower. Feeder heifers traded 5.00-7.00 lower. With very warm temperatures set in place feeder buyers are expressing concerns about calf health and their demand for feeder calves is reflecting those concerns. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady.

One grade step is worth $22.00/cwt here — about $156 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.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.46, low $339.50, median $394.72 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
