As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold steady to 10.00 higher with spots up to 13.00 higher and a couple loads of yearling heifers sold 10.00-12.00 higher. Yearling steers were too lightly tested for a trend. Demand was good for a light to moderate supply on a wet day. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $35.17/cwt here — about $204 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.

25 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $447.60, low $380.31, median $427.30 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
