As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 6.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded 6.00-8.00 lower. Feeder buyers showed strong preference for the male calves today. An abundance of heifers in today's offering and lighter demand pulled the prices back especially on the bawling heifers. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 3.00-4.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $30.38/cwt here — about $73 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.
