As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, a light test of steer calves weighing 500-650 lbs sold firm to 5.00 higher, with weights over 650 not tested. Feeder heifers weighing under 700 lbs were not well tested with overall quality not very attractive, but four pot loads of good quality black heifers weighing 835-965 lb heifers sold with a firm to higher undertone on good demand. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $28.53/cwt here — about $219 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.
