Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were steady, but the plainer calves a little higher. Slaughter cattle steady but had a few high yield cows that brought really good. Sold a load of heifers mostly black hided 67 head average weight 756 brought $ 2.19 that is $1,655.64 per head or $110,927.88 pretty good ticket.

One grade step is worth $43.00/cwt here — about $280 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.

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.59, low $369.81, median $466.25 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
