As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers traded 7.00-9.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold mostly steady. The demand was softer today with the volatility in the futures trading. Again there was very few weaned, pre-conditioned packages in this week's offering. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 5.00-7.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $53.37/cwt here — about $230 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.
