As filed

Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was unevenly steady to stronger in spots with a plainer than average quality offering. Good quality feeder steers 400 lbs and under were sharply higher with a good supply and strong demand, while there bigger brothers were unevenly steady to 3.00 lower with moderate demand. Feeder heifers 450 lbs and under were steady to 5.00 higher for the bawling calves and sharply higher for the weaned and pre-conditioned heifers, while the 550-750 lbs heifers were 2.00 to 6.00 higher with a good supply and strong demand. Buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for weaned packages of calves, while discounting plainer and off colored severely. Slaughter cows were 1.00 to 3.00 lower with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.

One grade step is worth $48.28/cwt here — about $210 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.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $446.90, low $346.97, median $412.36 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
