As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifers weighing under 650 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher. Yearlings not well tested. Trade activity was light to moderate on moderate demand. Heavy rains across the area made getting cattle to market difficult. Slaughter cows and bulls had insufficient numbers to compare. Market was good with excellent buyer attendance

One grade step is worth $24.95/cwt here — about $151 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.

33 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $432.90, low $340.72, median $396.69 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
