As filed

Compared to the last auction two week's ago, steers weighing 550-700 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher, with all other weights of steers not well tested. Feeder heifers weighing 450-650 lbs sold with a firm to slightly higher undertone on a light test. Slaughter cows traded steady to firm. Demand was moderate to good with supply light to moderate. Fed cattle prices have been moving higher showing some optimism and giving support to the feeder cattle market.

One grade step is worth $5.26/cwt here — about $271 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.

24 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $218.54, median $241.35 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
