As filed

Compared to last week, Slaughter Cows $3.00-$6.00 higher, Slaughter Bulls $3.00 higher on a light test, Feeder Steers under 500lbs not well established, over 500 lbs, $4.00-$10.00 higher, Feeder Heifers unevenly steady, Feeder Bulls not well established this week. Quality fair to fancy, with Feeder Steers over 500lbs showing better quality. Demand good.

One grade step is worth $44.59/cwt here — about $182 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.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.85, low $374.23, median $428.03 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
