Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, over all a light test on most feeders with 600-650 lb steers and 750-800 lb steers trading unevenly steady and 650-700 lb steers selling 7.00-12.00 lower all other weights of steer calves and yearlings were not well tested. Heifer calves weighing 450-500 lbs and 650-700 lb heifers traded near steady on comparable weights with all other weights lightly tested. Demand was moderate on a light to moderate offering. Fed Cattle market has lost a lot of ground over the last couple of weeks losing 10.00-12.00 as we are seeing seasonal pressure. Slaughter steers and heifers sold 3.00-8.00 lower and slaughter cows traded firm to 5.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $45.58/cwt here — about $137 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 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.
