Compared to last week: Feeder steers over 400 lbs sold 10.00-25.00 higher, Feeder heifers over 400 lbs sold 4.00-25.00 higher. Feeder supply included several groups of above average in quality and long weaned cattle. Not enough Slaughter cows or bulls to establish a Trend.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	552	441.10	2,433	32
Medium and Large 1-2	519	438.00	2,273	27

One grade step is worth $3.10/cwt here — about $160 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

19 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $474.79, low $395.04, median $431.65 across 19 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
