Compared to last week: Feeder steers 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Feeder heifers 6.00 to 8.00 higher. To few steer and heifer calves for an accurate trend but a stronger undertone was noted. Demand was moderate. Quality was average.

One grade step is worth $70.18/cwt here — about $356 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.

33 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $517.82, low $398.50, median $461.61 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
