As filed

Compared to the feeder auction from two weeks ago, the supply ranged from light weight calves to 900 lb yearlings with not enough comparisons of any weight class for a good market test. A more typical summertime sale as hot temperatures and plenty of pasture limited receipts.

One grade step is worth $0.15/cwt here — about −$9 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.

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.
