Compared to last Saturday no trends on the feeder market due to mostly single head comparisons from the previous week, however the feeder market appeared firm with a good supply and good demand for weaned and value added groups. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady with a limited supply and good demand.

One grade step is worth $74.04/cwt here — about $481 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 $432.00, low $342.05, median $396.70 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
