As filed

Trends this week were sharply lower due to lower quality, falling feeder and live cattle futures prices, and it being a major Holiday week with most markets being closed this week. Feeder Steers/Bulls 30.00-40.00 lower; Feeder Heifers 30.00-40.00 lower; Slaughter Cows mostly steady; Slaughter Bulls mostly steady.

One grade step is worth $50.23/cwt here — about $206 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.

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.15, low $334.37, median $403.65 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
