As filed

Friday's sale had a very light offering of steer and heifer calves weighing mostly under 600 lbs selling mostly in small packages and singles but selling mostly steady within last week's ranges of similar quality and weights. Slaughter steers and heifers sold near steady with slaughter cows trading steady.

One grade step is worth $28.21/cwt here — about −$52 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.
