Compared to last Monday feeder steers and heifers under 600 lbs sold 5.00 lower with good demand; yearlings sold 5.00 higher with very good demand. More new crop bawling and short-weaned calves coming to town putting some downward pressure on the feeder market. Slaughter cows sold steady with very good demand. Slaughter bulls sold 3.00 higher with very good demand.

One grade step is worth $24.30/cwt here — about $95 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 800–900 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $445.63, low $349.69, median $406.14 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
