Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last report feeder cattle sold unevenly steady, on calves and yearlings. With breaker slaughter cows selling steady to 4.00 lower on a light test, while boning, lean cows and bulls sold with too few comparable sales to trend. With sheep and goats selling with too few comparable sales to test. Trade was active with a good demand with a moderate supply.

One grade step is worth $51.51/cwt here — about $144 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.
