As filed

Compared to last week, unable to trend feeder steers due to limited comparables, with heifers selling unevenly steady on calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower, with slaughter bulls selling steady to 2.00 lower on a light test. Trade was active with a good demand and a moderate supply.

One grade step is worth $34.56/cwt here — about $283 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 700–800 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $455.49, low $341.33, median $404.46 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
