As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold steady on limited comparisons due to a low number of steers in last week's offering. Feeder heifers traded mostly steady with the 650-750 lb. weaned packages selling sharply higher. The demand for feeder calves was good considering much warmer weather in place and producers trying to complete fieldwork. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-6.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 2.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $32.00/cwt here — about $274 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 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.
