As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers were firm to 15.00 higher this week. Feeder heifers were also steady and firm this week. Slaughter cows were 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 higher this week. Had some really nice larger weight calves and groups that come in this week that kept the bigger cattle strong.

One grade step is worth $26.28/cwt here — about $250 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.

21 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $410.62, low $336.84, median $372.69 across 21 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
