Compared to last week; Heavy rainfall in the drawing area caused smaller numbers and uneven market. Steer calves and feeder steers sold uneven. Heifer calves and feeder heifers had no comparable sales or numbers. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-6.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady to 1.00 lower. Excellent buyer attendance.

One grade step is worth $201.16/cwt here — about $923 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.

35 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $485.79, low $354.58, median $442.90 across 35 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
