Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers 600 lbs and under were sharply higher with a moderate supply and strong demand. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were 5.00 to 10.00 higher or greater in a few spots with a moderate supply and strong demand for long weaned and harder conditioned feeders. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.

One grade step is worth $103.58/cwt here — about $523 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 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 $431.17, low $343.72, median $401.72 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
