As filed

Compared to the last reported sale a month ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 15.00-30.00 higher. Demand was very good for a moderate to heavy supply. Nearly all the cattle offered were long time weaned and in an attractive condition. Cattle futures traded higher again Wednesday and it's been all bullish lately. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.

One grade step is worth $46.86/cwt here — about $495 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.

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.
