As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeder cattle this week with mostly small packages and singles in the offering. Most of the calves were unweaned, short weaned and carrying some flesh or full and sold with light to moderate demand as quality was mostly plain to average at best. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.

One grade step is worth $14.03/cwt here — about $246 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.
