Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were steady but the lighter calves were stronger and sold several groups of calves that brought very good. Slaughter cattle were steady.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Medium and Large 2	567	255.86	1,451	50

One grade step is worth $19.37/cwt here — about $151 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.

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
