Good day, the futures may have been down but the calf market was not. Feeder calves steady and higher in spots. Slaughter cattle steady.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $13.91/cwt here — about $49 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 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.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Replacement cattle Per head
