Good day, as compared to the last market due to not being the same quality cattle feeder calves were steady. Slaughter cattle a little lower today 3-5 and bulls about steady. Sold some really nice angus bulls 2-4 years old brought $ 5000-6100

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $38.33/cwt here — about $117 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

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.
