Compared to last week's lighter run of cattle, Slaughter Cows $6.00-$10.00 lower, Slaughter Bulls $10.00-$15.00 lower, Feeder Heifers and Feeder Bulls $5.00-$10.00 lower, Feeder Steers could not be established due to a lack of comparable receipts from last week.

One grade step is worth $18.68/cwt here — about $153 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

21 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $427.80, low $352.76, median $383.08 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
