As filed

Friday's auction was a special bred cow and heifer sale with several small consignments of good quality bred cows mostly 4-7 yrs in the 3rd stage along with several packages of bred heifers in the 3rd stage all selling with good demand. A nice offering of slaughter cows sold firm to 3.00 higher. Feeder cattle were lightly tested selling in mostly small packages and singles.

One grade step is worth $23.87/cwt here — about $200 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.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
