As filed

Compared to last week, Feeder Steers traded $4.00-$6.00 higher, Feeder Heifers $5.00-$8.00 higher, Feeder Bulls $5.00-$7.00 higher, Slaughter Cows $5.00-$8.00 higher, Slaughter Bulls not well established this week. Quality fair to fancy. Demand good to strong, with stronger demand being for weaned, black hided feeder cattle.

One grade step is worth $37.15/cwt here — about $179 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.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $487.74, low $375.33, median $448.63 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
