Compared to last week, feeder steers were 5.00 to 25.00 higher. Feeder heifers were steady to 8.00 higher. Slaughter cows were 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 higher. A really nice set of young cow/calf pairs and bred cows offered this week as well as some heavier feeder cattle to choose from.

One grade step is worth $5.31/cwt here — about −$60 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.

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $468.96, low $359.33, median $415.17 across 26 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

Replacement cattle Per head
