Compared to last Tuesday feeder steers and heifers sold 4.00 to 6.00 higher. There was good to very good demand for feeder classes. Slaughter cows sold 5.00 to 8.00 higher. No test on slaughter bulls. However there was good demand for slaughter classes.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head

One grade step is worth $41.04/cwt here — about $258 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

29 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $497.13, low $378.23, median $454.56 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
