Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers under 500 lbs. sold 2.00-4.00 higher and those over 500 lbs. were 7.00-9.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded 5.00-7.00 higher with the 400-500 lb. heifers selling sharply higher. The demand for the feeder calves was strong again this week for a good quality offering. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 5.00-7.00 lower on a plain quality offering.

One grade step is worth $29.01/cwt here — about $160 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 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 $426.46, low $339.50, median $394.72 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
