As filed

No recent feeder specials to make good comparisons. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Buyers were active as it appeared they were trying to round up some cattle a little cheaper after watching the futures market sell-off last week. Plenty of hay around the area this year and corn prices in a free-fall should support cattle prices the rest of the year.

One grade step is worth $21.00/cwt here — about $37 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.

16 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $515.25, low $432.68, median $469.95 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
