Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers steady on limited comparisons with last time. Pretty typical summer run with a few light weight calves to some heavy weight yearlings offered. Demand good and supply light.

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $23.52/cwt here — about $69 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 700–800 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

16 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $452.66, low $381.07, median $431.09 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
