Compared to last week: No comparable receipts from last week's very light offering to establish a trend for any Feeder or Slaughter class; however todays offering consisted of several Value Added or long weaned groups of feeder cattle that sold with very high undertones.

Weight class

Heifers · summary 500–600 lb

Weighted average of every reported lot

500–600 lb heifers averaged $420.29/cwt on 66 head, up $50.41 from the prior sale (only 11 head in that comparison). That ranks 19 of 19 comparable sales and sits +31.28 against this barn's trailing median of $389.01.

One grade step is worth $41.37/cwt here — about $369 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

19 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.29, low $350.30, median $389.01 across 19 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
