No trends established on all classes of Feeder Cattle, due to limited comparable sales. However lower undertones were noted. Compared to last week Slaughter Cows mostly steady. Slaughter Bulls 8.00 higher. Quality and demand fair.

One grade step is worth $29.95/cwt here — about $162 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 700–800 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.
