As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow sale with a light offering of feeder cattle not well tested with last Friday's heavy receipts, but the overall undertone was sharply lower on all weights, with several consignments of unweaned feeders. Bred cows sold with moderate demand mostly 3-6 yrs in the 2nd-3rd stage, several young pairs top quality mostly 5 year old cows few bred back in the first stage with nice 200-250 lb calves sold with good demand. Large offering of slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and a large offering of slaughter steers and heifers sold 3.00-4.00 lower compared to last week's large offering of near same numbers.

One grade step is worth $1.40/cwt here — about $261 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.
