As filed

Friday's sale was a Special Bred Cow and Pairs sale with a nice quality offering of heifer pairs and young 3-5 year old pairs selling with moderate to good demand along with several consignments of mostly 4-6 year old bred cows in the 2nd and 3rd stage selling with moderate demand. Slaughter cows on a large offering sold 3.00-8.00 higher as slaughter cows sold on a very active market with many stick-out sales of high dressing cows many selling with good weighing conditions. Slaughter steers and heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher on a nice quality offering. Feeder cattle were lightly tested selling mostly as singles and small packages.

One grade step is worth $20.14/cwt here — about $119 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.
