As filed

Compared to the last special feeder auction from three weeks ago, all weights and classes of feeders sold with a very good demand with a nice supply of both calves and yearlings in the offering. Calf prices were steady, and the yearlings traded near steady, with very few comparisons because of the light yearling receipts at previous sales.

One grade step is worth $9.92/cwt here — about −$8 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 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.
