As filed

Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was mostly stronger with an average quality offering. Feeder steers 350 lbs and under appeared sharply higher with a lite test, while the 400-600 lbs steers were unevenly steady with a good supply and good demand. Feeder heifers 300-600 lbs were mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher or greater in spots with a good supply and good demand for weaned and thinner conditioned feeders. Slaughter cows appeared steady and slaughter bulls appeared 4.00 to 6.00 higher, with a good supply and good demand, compared to last weeks lite test.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $150.66/cwt here — about $920 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.
