As filed

Fridays auction had a light offering of replacement cows with a small consignment of good quality bred heifers in the 3rd stage that sold with good demand, few bred cows in the 2nd and 3rd stage along with a few pairs of running age cows selling with moderate demand. Feeder cattle were very lightly tested selling in small packages and mostly singles. Slaughter steers and heifers on a nice offering sold steady to 2.00 lower with slaughter cows trading steady to firm.

One grade step is worth $42.00/cwt here — about $15 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.
