As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 4.00 to 10.00 higher, feeder heifers sold unevenly steady, and feeder bulls sold 3.00 to 7.00 lower. Slaughter cows were not well tested and slaughter bulls sold steady to 5.00 higher. Quality was plain to average on a lighter run and demand was moderate.

One grade step is worth $3.91/cwt here — about −$59 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.

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.
