Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeders sold with a higher undertone but with no recent price comparisons available. Demand good. Supply moderate. A nice run of feeders were on hand with the cooler weather and stronger market including three loads of yearling steers weighing 767-869 lbs. Cattle futures eased back after the big gains seen on Monday following another bullish placement figure in Friday's Cattle on Feed report.

One grade step is worth $10.39/cwt here — about $66 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.

22 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.42, low $374.69, median $470.33 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
