As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeder cattle were not well tested this week. Feeders sold mostly in small groups, packages and singles with many unweaned/short weaned calves and selling with moderate demand. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $6.09/cwt here — about $35 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.
