Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 8.00-10.00 higher on a limited number of like comparisons. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs. traded sharply lower and those over 500 lbs. were 3.00-5.00 lower. The demand for the male calves was much stronger. The few larger groups of heifers saw good demand. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.

One grade step is worth $48.98/cwt here — about $150 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.
