As filed

Compared to last week, few good comparisons with many calves selling under 650 lbs unweaned but good quality, with two pot loads of yearling heifers weighing 985 lbs selling with a firm to higher undertone. Slaughter cows sold steady. Demand was moderate on the calves with the best demand on the loads of heifers.

One grade step is worth $18.33/cwt here — about $189 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.

This barn's trailing prices 0–100 lb

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.
