As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow/Heifer sale with several consignments of top quality heifers in the 3rd stage selling with good demand, along with several small consignments of good quality young bred cows 3-5 yrs in the 2nd and 3rd stage. Several lots and packages of 4 yrs to short solid mouth pairs with 200-300 lb calves in the offering. Feeder cattle were lightly tested selling in small packages and singles many unweaned or short weaned. A very large offering of slaughter cows over 500 head sold steady with last week.

One grade step is worth $57.38/cwt here — about $247 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.
