As filed

Compared to last week's special, a light offering of mostly small packages and groups with several groups of unweaned/short weaned calves in the offering had few good comparisons. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm with spots 3.00 higher on the high dressing cows.

One grade step is worth $51.94/cwt here — about −$185 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.
