As filed

No recent price comparison on feeder cattle over the last several weeks to offer a solid price comparison, but a firm to higher undertone noted on feeders mostly weighing 500-700 lbs. Several consignments of thin fleshed/gaunt yearling heifers weighing 600-700 lbs sold with good demand. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate.

One grade step is worth $15.78/cwt here — about $187 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.

This barn's trailing prices 0–100 lb

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.
