Compared to last week: There was not enough data for an accurate comparison on feeder cattle, however, a lower undertone was noted. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Quality was plain to average and demand was moderate.

One grade step is worth $41.92/cwt here — about $203 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.

22 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $416.06, low $326.54, median $379.65 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
