As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeders this week, were very lightly tested with not enough of any one weight range to test the market. Several inches of snow in the area over the last couple of days curbed receipts with a special feeder cattle sale set for next week. Slaughter cows on a light test sold steady.

One grade step is worth $8.79/cwt here — about $206 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.

22 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $224.09, median $243.68 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle
