As filed

Compared to last Wednesday: Feeder steers under 550 lbs. traded sharply higher and those over 550 lbs. were 6.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs. sold 8.00-10.00 higher and those over 600 lbs. were 3.00-5.00 lower. The quality of today's offering varied greatly and lacked the weaned packages of the previous weeks but the demand remained strong overall. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower on a very plain quality offering and no test on slaughter bulls due no bulls last week.

One grade step is worth $105.27/cwt here — about $626 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.

32 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $524.17, low $382.73, median $481.03 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
