As filed

When looking back to the last tested auction from three weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers traded with a lower undertone except for some light weight calves under 450 lbs that sold near steady. The previous sale in June saw feeders selling near all-time high prices, but since then the fat cattle have lost 10.00 to 15.00 and the futures market has been on a down trend, bringing some pressure to the cash feeders.

One grade step is worth $37.52/cwt here — about $153 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.
