No trend available this week due to not reporting last weeks sale. However, there was a moderate supply of all classes of cattle. The demand was good across all classes with moderate market activity.

One grade step is worth $192.98/cwt here — about $1,012 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.

18 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $395.69, median $443.03 across 18 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
