As filed

Friday's Auction was a Special Bred Cow and pairs sale with a couple of consignments of young 3-5 year old pairs with 150-200 lb calves selling with good demand. A light offering of feeder cattle were mostly unweaned calves, with most good quality and selling with good demand. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-6.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $41.37/cwt here — about $421 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.

16 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $223.56, median $242.55 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
