As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers and heifers sold 5.00-6.00 lower. Lower receipts today because of the 100 degree weather limited comparisons. The better quality calves saw average demand and the plain and colored calves saw softer demand. Slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 higher and no test on slaughter bulls.

One grade step is worth $25.73/cwt here — about $128 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

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.
