As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers under 500 lbs. sold 7.00-9.00 higher and those over 500 lbs. were 7.00-9.00 lower. Today's offering lacked the large packages of the heavier steers that the previous week's sale contained. Feeder heifers traded 3.00-5.00 higher. Despite the very warm temperatures in place the demand for feeders remained good. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls traded mostly steady.

One grade step is worth $43.99/cwt here — about $156 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.46, low $339.50, median $393.95 across 31 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
