As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Feeder bulls sold mostly 3.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower but a much plainer run of cows were on hand compared to 2 weeks ago. Slaughter bulls sold steady. Quality was anywhere from very plain to attractive. Demand was moderate.

One grade step is worth $77.30/cwt here — about $474 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.

14 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $436.12, low $336.39, median $401.49 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
