Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 20.00 higher. There were 5 loads in the offering with several other consignments of good quality weaned calves. Supply was lighter this week due to heavy spring rains in the area. Demand was good. Slaughter cows and bulls traded 1.00 to 4.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $29.84/cwt here — about $135 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.

27 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $510.74, low $431.11, median $482.94 across 27 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.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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