Last week's smaller sized offering limited comparisons. Strong demand was seen across all classes of feeder cattle. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower and slaughter bulls were mostly steady.

One grade step is worth $44.17/cwt here — about $227 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.

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.
