As filed

As compared to last weeks market: Feeder calves sold steady to slightly higher. Two groups of weaned steers weighing in the 800-900lb range brought 3.10-3.23. Also, there were some nice crossbred and angus heavy bred cows that brought 3000-3900. Slaughter cattle sold steady. There will be no sale next week due to Thanksgiving holidays.

One grade step is worth $149.90/cwt here — about $614 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 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.
