As filed

Compared to last week, Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow and Pair sale with a very light offering of feeder cattle selling in small bunches and singles. A few sales of light weight calves and bulls weighing under 500 lbs sold with a firm undertone. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold firm to 3.00 higher on and active market.

One grade step is worth $41.61/cwt here — about −$157 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.
