As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeder cattle, mostly unweaned/short weaned calves sold with moderate demand with no comparisons for a market test. Slaughter cows traded mostly steady to spots 2.00 lower on the high dressing cows. May corn continues to advance gaining near 33 cents this week closing at 7.72, while July corn advanced 59 cents for the week closing at 7.32. Fed cattle trade was mostly 118.00-119.00 for the week.

One grade step is worth $46.00/cwt here — about −$14 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.
