As filed

Compared to last week, a light test of feeders selling in small packages and singles were not well tested but overall sold with a lower undertone, with several in the offering unweaned or short weaned. Slaughter steers and heifers traded 3.00-5.00 lower with slaughter cows selling mostly 5.00-10.00 lower. Selling in Friday's offering were 20 high/top quality 18-20 month old Angus bulls from Meyer Cattle Co that sold from 5500.00-7900.00.

One grade step is worth $50.58/cwt here — about $122 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.

25 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $499.75, low $396.50, median $455.03 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
