Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, a much lighter offering of steer and heifer calves selling in small groups and packages with many singles, a light test of 400-550 lb heifers sold steady with few good comparisons on all other weights as overall quality was not as attractive as last week's feeder special. Another large offering of slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $35.40/cwt here — about −$67 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.
