As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold steady to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs. traded 5.00-7.00 lower and those over 600 lbs. were sharply higher. Feeder buyers showed lower demand for the "new crop" steers and heifers, especially the heifers where there was an abundance in the today's offering. Slaughter cows sold fully steady and slaughter bulls were 6.00-8.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $25.51/cwt here — about $157 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 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.
