As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 4.00-6.00 lower with the yearling calves being 9.00-10.00 lower. Feeder heifers traded 6.00-8.00 lower with the lightweight calves sharply lower. The combination of the falling futures market pressure, weather and plain calf quality is continuing to negatively affect the feeder markets. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.

One grade step is worth $44.06/cwt here — about $247 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.

27 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $485.45, low $403.31, median $451.75 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
