Compared tp last weeks sale; Steer calves 350-400 lbs sold 5.00 higher and 450-600 lbs were 10.00 lower. Feeder steers and heifers had no comparable numbers but a lower trend was evident throughout. Heifer calves had too few numbers to establish a trend. Trade was active on smaller numbers on a lower market. Slaughter cows sold steady with few 6.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady. Excellent buyer attendance....

One grade step is worth $142.05/cwt here — about $732 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

31 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $477.05, low $371.03, median $437.53 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
