As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers under 600 lbs. sold 10.00-12.00 lower and those over 600 lbs. were 8.00-10.00 higher on a light test. Feeder heifers traded 8.00-10.00 lower. Softer demand for those unweaned, plain calves today. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher and slaughter bulls were mostly steady.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1-2	549	411.90	2,261	29
Medium and Large 2-3	544	384.00	2,089	5thin

One grade step is worth $27.90/cwt here — about $172 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 $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.
