Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were steady to higher in spots, had some really good calves. Slaughter cows steady and bulls were a little higher. Sold two high yield Charolais bulls 2320 lbs. and 2470 lbs. @ $1.90 a lb. that is $4,408.00 and $4,693.00. Makes these stocker bulls look cheap, oh and sold some calves off these bulls today and they topped the market.

One grade step is worth $48.50/cwt here — about $219 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.

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
