As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold mostly steady to 10.00 higher. There was not enough data to call a trend on feeder bulls however, a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher. Quality was average and demand was good.

One grade step is worth $37.93/cwt here — about $266 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

9 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.76, low $365.20, median $387.65 across 9 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
