As filed

Compared to this same sale last week, on a much lighter test feeder steers/heifers 12.00 to 25.00 lower, with a higher demand noted on 350lb to 450lb heifers, and too few receipts to trend feeder bulls. Slaughter cows steady to 6.00 higher with lean cows 6.00 cheaper.

One grade step is worth $37.76/cwt here — about $203 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.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $456.21, low $333.47, median $382.02 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
