As filed

Compared to last week: There was not enough data to call a trend on feeder steers. Feeder heifers sold unevenly steady and feeder bulls sold 8.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Quality was average and demand was moderate.

One grade step is worth $3.66/cwt here — about −$136 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

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
