As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow and Pairs Sale with a nice offering of replacement cows selling with moderate to good demand. Mostly 4-6 yrs in 2nd-3rd stage and pairs 4-7 yrs with calves by side weighing 150-400 lbs. A very light offering of feeder cattle sold in small packages and singles, mostly unweaned/short weaned with moderate demand. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $2.40/cwt here — about $151 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.
