As filed

Compared to last week, feeders sold with mostly higher undertones on a light test. A couple of stick out consignments that offered good comparisons sold 5.00-10.00 higher and included 10 head of 404 lb. steers that sold for 619.00 and a load of 882 lb. steers that sold for 358.00. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady with the good high yielding bulls trading sharply higher.

One grade step is worth $0.88/cwt here — about $17 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $510.74, low $431.11, median $482.82 across 28 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

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
