As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, a very light run this week mostly due to the light snow and sleet on Thursday, with the best test on 500-550 lb steers trading 10.00-15.00 higher and 550-600 lbs on a light test 5.00-10.00 higher and 600-650 lbs selling with a firm undertone, feeder heifer were lightly tested. Slaughter cows sold firm to spots 3.00 higher on the high dressing cows.

One grade step is worth $38.95/cwt here — about $60 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

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.
