Friday's sale was a Special Bred Cow, heifer and Pairs sale with several consignments of bred heifers in the third stage and several consignments of young bred cows mostly 4-6 yrs in the third stage all selling with moderate to good demand. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold firm to 5.00 higher. Feeder cattle were lightly tested on a very light offering selling in small packages and singles.

One grade step is worth $16.00/cwt here — about $555 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.
