Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow and Pairs sale with a very nice offering of top quality 1st calf Heifer pairs and young pairs mostly 3-6 yrs of age all selling with very good demand. Feeder cattle were very lightly tested compared to last week's heavy volume sale and many calves were unweand. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold firm to 2.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $14.53/cwt here — about $82 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

25 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $218.54, median $241.00 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
