As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering this week was lightly tested with a few groups and packages of steer and heifer calves under 500 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was good on a light supply. Slaughter cows on a large offering sold fully steady to firm, spots 3.00 higher on the high dressing cows.

One grade step is worth $56.93/cwt here — about $63 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.
