Compared to last week feeder steers under 600lbs were steady to up $3.00 with steers over 600lbs steady to down 2.00 with lower receipts. Feeder heifers 300-400lbs were steady to up $2.00 and heifers over 400lbs were steady. Very good buyer demand on weaned and vaccinated calves. Slaughter cows were steady to up $2.00 while slaughter bulls were steady.

One grade step is worth $21.21/cwt here — about $75 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 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 $434.15, low $331.69, median $402.69 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
