As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 10.00-15.00 higher, some 20.00 higher than last week's lighter numbers. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Demand good for feeder cattle. Steer calves 4.00-8.00 higher. Heifer calves unevenly steady. Un-weaned calves sold sharply higher. Demand extremely good for calves. Seeing very little to no discounts on short weaned or un-weaned calves or bulls. Very nice run of calves today with active trade. Slaughter cows mostly steady, except a few Breaker cows 4.00 lower in a light test. Slaughter bulls mostly steady. Several nice replacement cows and pairs included and these sold to good demand.

One grade step is worth $75.11/cwt here — about $350 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 $505.51, low $396.77, median $456.84 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
