As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher overall with slaughter bulls 3.00 higher. No comparisons available for feeder classes due to light receipts this week, but a lower undertone for heifers and higher undertone for bulls was noted. Also an increased demand by farmer-feeders was noted.

One grade step is worth $25.00/cwt here — about −$204 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

4 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $204.16, low $187.93, median $201.60 across 4 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
