Compared to last week's sale; Steer calves were not well tested. Feeder steers sold 10.00-20.00 lower with the exception of 700-750 lbs and 600-650 lbs being steady. Heifer calves sold unevenly steady while feeder heifers 600-750 lbs were 9.00-10.00 lower. Trade was moderately uneven on similar numbers. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 6.00 higher. Excellent buyer attendance.

One grade step is worth $257.83/cwt here — about $1,411 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.
