Compared to last week, Feeder Steers $6.00-$12.00 lower, Feeder Heifers $7.00-$13.00 lower, Feeder Bulls $13.00-$19.00 lower, Slaughter Cows $8.00-$10.00 lower, Slaughter Bulls not well established but sold with a lower undertone. Quality fair to fancy, Demand good.

One grade step is worth $82.22/cwt here — about $288 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.

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.
