As filed

Compared to last week, a light offering and test of steer and heifer calves sold mostly in small packages, groups and singles with the better quality steer and heifer calves selling with a firm undertone, several small packages of good quality 3 weight steers and heifers traded with a higher undertone. Slaughter steers and heifers traded 3.00-5.00 lower when compared to the last tested market two weeks ago. A large offering of slaughter cows sold firm to 3.00 higher, spots 5.00 higher on the high dressing cows.

One grade step is worth $28.46/cwt here — about $81 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 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.
