As filed

No recent feeder special with comparable receipts but steers and heifers of all weights traded with a higher undertone catching up with the sharp gains over the last several weeks. Receipts included three pot loads of 780 to 910 lb heifers along with several part loads of steers and heifers with many small packages in the offering but overall and active market. Demand was good on a moderate to heavy offering. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm with spots 3.00 higher on the high dressing cows.

One grade step is worth $26.22/cwt here — about $277 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

16 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $223.56, median $242.55 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
