Compared to last week, a very light test of feeder cattle were not well tested with offerings selling mostly as singles and small packages. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm. Demand was light to moderate on calves with supply light.

One grade step is worth $2.15/cwt here — about $66 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.

15 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $223.56, median $246.96 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
