Feeder steers and bulls were sharply lower, while feeder heifers were mostly 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Demand was light to moderate; market activity and buyer interest were slow to moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly light. Cattle quality was plain to average.

One grade step is worth $17.07/cwt here — about $81 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $205.17, low $174.10, median $191.44 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
