As filed

Compared to last week, based on a light test, calves and yearlings sold mostly steady. Supply was light following the holiday weekend but a load of 8 weight steers was on hand along with several smaller groups of yearlings and a few calves. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $44.21/cwt here — about $195 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.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $514.71, low $446.05, median $482.34 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
