As filed

Compared to last week, mostly calves this week weighing 425-650 lbs selling in small packages and groups with many bull calves and heifers unweaned with few good comparable sales on any weight range of calves and with yearlings scarce. Demand and supply was moderate. Good offering of slaughter cattle and slaughter cows with slaughter cows selling firm to 2.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $22.12/cwt here — about −$241 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.
