Compared to last week: Feeder steers and feeder heifers sold sharply lower. CME futures opened the limit down, more negative market factors along with it being a holiday week pressured the market down. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.

One grade step is worth $39.82/cwt here — about $213 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

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $428.62, low $343.55, median $392.04 across 31 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
