As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers not well tested but a higher undertone noted, quality was plain to average, extreme heat made for lower receipts, however demand was good. Slaughter cows held firm to 5.00 higher, slaughter bulls 2.00 lower, light receipts on slaughter cattle as well.

One grade step is worth $8.35/cwt here — about $48 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.

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.90, low $351.78, median $407.74 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
