Compared to last week feeder steers were steady to 15.00 higher. Feeder heifers were mixed this week. Slaughter cows were steady this week and slaughter bulls were 5.00 to 8.00 higher. With warm weather after the rains , a good bit of lighter weight calves show up this week.

One grade step is worth $42.41/cwt here — about $90 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.
