As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers 300lbs-500lbs were mostly steady, feeder steers 500lbs-800lbs were steady to up 2.00. Feeder heifers were unevenly steady with good demand for weaned pre-conditioned packages. Slaughter cows were sharply higher with good buyer demand, slaughter bulls were steady with lower receipts.

One grade step is worth $50.28/cwt here — about $29 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.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $428.62, low $343.55, median $392.04 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
