Compared to last week, a very light offering this week of feeder cattle going into the Labor Day Weekend had very few comparisons as most were sold in small packages and singles. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm, spots 2.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $20.93/cwt here — about $132 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.
