As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves under 550 lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone, with 550-600 lbs steers trading mostly 5.00 higher and steers over 600 lbs were lightly tested. Feeder heifers sold mostly steady on comparable weights and quality. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 lower. Offerings sold mostly in small groups and bunches but quality was very good on the black weaned steer calves weighing 450-600 lbs and sold with very good demand.

One grade step is worth $36.76/cwt here — about $27 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.
