Compared to the last special three weeks ago, steer and heifers calves under 650 lbs sold with a lower undertone with the best test on 550-600 lb and 650-700 lb steers trading 12.00-15.00 lower with yearlings not well tested on the same weight groups but selling with a lower undertone. Much of the calf offering was made up of small packages and singles with demand moderate to good. The largest offering of the day was 109 heifers weighing 1025 lbs at 273.50 and a pot load of 951 lb steers at 310.75. CME Cattle futures opened Monday limit up but that faded as on Thursday it was limit down keeping volatility in the markets very fluid with lack of stability and confidence in the markets is keeping pressure on the feeder prices. Slaughter steers and heifers sold steady to 1.00 lower with slaughter cows trading steady with last week.

One grade step is worth $48.06/cwt here — about $208 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.
