As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle were very lightly tested selling mostly in small packages and singles on a light offering. There were several consignments of bred cows and pairs selling with moderate to good demand mostly bred cows 4-7 yrs in the 2nd and 3rd stage and pairs 4-6 yrs with 150-200 lb calves. A large offering of slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm with last week's aggressive market.

One grade step is worth $21.68/cwt here — about $328 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.
