Friday's auction had a very light offering of feeder cattle selling mostly in small packages and singles and were not well tested. The main attraction of the sale was a consignment of 58 head of high choice slaughter steers and heifers selling form 184.00-185.25 which was steady to firm with the sale from two weeks ago as last week had very few on offer to compare. Slaughter cows were unevern with breaking cows selling mostly steady and boning and breaking trading steady to weak on mostly average to low dressing cows.

One grade step is worth $24.37/cwt here — about $14 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.
