As filed

Compared to last week, on a lighter test, feeder steers and heifers remaining mostly steady overall with feeder bulls 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows gauging 1.00 to 4.00 higher with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls due to limited comparable receipts, however, a higher undertone was noted.

One grade step is worth $13.00/cwt here — about $102 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 0–100 lb

5 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $204.16, low $187.93, median $199.78 across 5 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
