As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeders this week but overall a good quality offering had a few comparable sales of 400-450 lb and 500-550 lb heifers that sold 5.00-10.00 higher than last week's sales and a group of 730 steers that sold 5.00 higher with all other weights lightly tested but selling with a firm to higher undertone on the better quality feeders. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-8.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $22.62/cwt here — about −$16 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.

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.
