As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers sold with not enough comparables to set a trend except for 700lbs to 800lbs steers sold sharply higher, with feeder heifers selling unevenly steady on calves and yearlings. Slaughter cattle sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher on breaker and boning cows, with lean cows selling steady to 1.00 lower, with slaughter bulls selling 11.00 higher on yielding bulls on a light test. Trade was active with a good demand and a moderate supply.

One grade step is worth $73.68/cwt here — about $410 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 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.
