As filed

Friday's sale had a light offering of feeder cattle that were lightly tested. There was one consignment of good quality 4-5 year old young cows bred in the 2nd and 3rd stage that sold with good demand, along with several small packages of bred cows and a few pairs both 5-7 yrs selling with moderate to good demand. Slaughter steers and heifers on a light test sold firm to 2.00 higher with slaughter cows trading on and active market selling 5.00-8.00, spots 10.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $25.37/cwt here — about $232 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $439.62, low $346.27, median $407.03 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
