As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers sold 2.00 to 15.00 lower, while heifers sold with too few comparable sales to trend. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 higher on boning and breakers, with lean cows selling 4.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher on a light test. Trade was active on moderate to good demand, with a moderate supply.

One grade step is worth $77.00/cwt here — about $296 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.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $508.64, low $402.16, median $450.71 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
