As filed

Compared to last week, the best test was on a few bunches of 450-675 lb heifers and two pot loads of 860 lb heifers trading steady on comparable sales, with steers very lightly tested. Feeders sold mostly in small packages and singles with several small groups un-weaned or short weaned. Demand was moderate on calves and good on the two loads of yearling heifers. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold steady to firm.

One grade step is worth $26.14/cwt here — about $594 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.
