As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold unevenly steady. Feeder heifers and bulls sold mostly 2.00 to 15.00 lower with spots lower than that. Quality was average and demand was moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls were not well tested as we had a much plainer offering this week compared to last week.

One grade step is worth $44.45/cwt here — about $255 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 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.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
