As filed

No trends could be established due to no sale last week in observance of Independence Day, however all Feeder Stteers and Feeder Bulls under 450# traded with a higher undertone with Feeder Heifers trading slightly lower due to quality and demand. Fleshier and unweaned calves receiving a considerable discount. Slaughter Cows/Bulls traded with slightly lower undertone due to lower quality compared to two weeks ago.

One grade step is worth $105.28/cwt here — about $667 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.

27 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.69, low $331.98, median $395.01 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
