As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 3.00-5.00 higher. Cooler weather and several calves in "green" condition combined to increase demand for feeder calves in all classes with the lightweight calves seeing strong interest from the buyers. Slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 1.00-3.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $20.87/cwt here — about $172 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.

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

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
