As filed

As compared to the last market: Feeder calves were on fire 7.00-10.00 higher. Had some really good groups of calves that will be in the 1/2 in the calf market. Slaughter cattle sold steady. No sales next week due to the Independence holiday.

One grade step is worth $66.04/cwt here — about $198 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

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.59, low $369.81, median $466.25 across 26 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.
