As filed

Compared to the last sale: Feeder cattle were too thinly tested to accurately trend. In slaughter cattle, average dressing slaughter breaker cows sold for 4.00-12.00 higher, boner cows sold 1.00 to 5.00 lower, while lean cows had no change. Bulls sold 1.00-6.00 lower than last week. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.

One grade step is worth $48.48/cwt here — about $288 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.

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $455.49, low $350.37, median $408.28 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
