No trends due to the market being closed last week for Thanksgiving, however the feeder market appeared sharply stronger with a good supply and strong demand. Buyers were very active today and willing to pay premiums for good quality weaned packages of calves. Slaughter cows and bulls appeared steady with a large supply and good demand.

One grade step is worth $127.44/cwt here — about $743 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

31 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $502.25, low $405.13, median $465.79 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
