Good day, had a very big offering of cattle at today's market. Feeder calves were 10-15 lower and slaughter cattle were 5-7 lower. Even though the markets a little cheaper the groups of feeder calves still sold very good. Had some really nice replacement cows as well. And had some light calves bring crazy money.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $44.09/cwt here — about $191 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.
