As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers and heifers sold sharply lower. There was better activity by feeder buyers today even though prices don't reflect the stronger demand. Several events in recent days have had a negative impact on feeder cattle trading. Slaughter cows and bulls continue to trade mostly steady.

One grade step is worth $17.68/cwt here — about $88 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.
