As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold too light to trend. With slaughter cattle selling 6.00 higher, while slaughter bulls sold too light to trend. While sheep and goats sold with not enough comparables to trend except on slaughter ewes which sold unevenly steady. Trade was active with a good demand and a light to moderate supply.

One grade step is worth $34.99/cwt here — about $230 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 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.
