Good day, smaller run of cattle today the temp. is hot but so are the cattle prices. Feeder calves mostly steady on the bigger cattle but 5-10 higher on the lighter calves. Slaughter cows 2-4 higher and bulls 2-5 higher. Example bull weighed 1760 @ $ 1.80= 3,168 and a bull weighed 2415 @ $ 1.69= 4,081.35 and he was full or would have yielded more. Time to cull some bulls and cows. No sales in the state next week due to independence day.

One grade step is worth $57.00/cwt here — about $161 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 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
