As filed

Compared to last week, Friday's auction was a special bred cow sale with very few comparisons of feeder cattle especially on quality to compare with last week's large offering. Feeders sold in mostly small groups, bunches and singles. Replacement cows included a couple of consignments of 1st calf heifer pairs and several small consignments of young bred cows in the 3rd stage all selling with good demand. Slaughter cows sold firm to 3.00 higher on a nice offering with slaughter steers and heifers sold 2.00-3.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $13.94/cwt here — about $151 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.
