As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold steady. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs. traded sharply lower and those over 500 lbs. were 6.00-8.00 lower. The feeder buyers showed better demand for steers but were very sluggish on the heifers. The quality of today's offering varied greatly with several off-colored calves. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 6.00-8.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $15.34/cwt here — about $86 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 700–800 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.

Slaughter cattle
