No trends due to market being closed last week for the holidays, however the feeder market appeared stronger with a good supply and strong demand for weaned and value added calves. Slaughter cows and bulls appeared firm with a good supply and good demand.

One grade step is worth $88.95/cwt here — about $498 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.

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.
