As filed

Compared to last Thursday: No trends available on feeder cattle. Today's feeder offering was small due to the extreme temperatures and did not allow for any like comparisons on feeders. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 1.00-3.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $25.09/cwt here — about $107 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

32 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $469.86, low $335.22, median $420.72 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
