As filed

Not enough calves on offer for a price comparison, yearling load lots steady. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 higher. A small crowd and a short run on offer this week, with most locals in the field in one capacity or another, and a much larger run expected in two weeks for the Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ Sale. Supply light, demand good.

One grade step is worth $7.96/cwt here — about −$100 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.

14 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $509.37, low $438.80, median $484.08 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
