Compared to last week, feeder steers under 400 pounds were 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Feeder steers over 400 pounds were steady. Feeder heifers this week were 5.00 to 20.00 higher. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were steady this week. We had a smaller run this week but solid set. We appreciate all the men and women who served this county to give us the freedoms we are able to enjoy on a daily basis on this Veteran's Day holiday.

One grade step is worth $32.08/cwt here — about $208 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 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

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