Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were stronger. And slaughter cows and bulls were 5-10 higher. Had some really good stock cows and pairs that brought all the money. Sold some short and solid 6 months bred cows from $2.10- 2.24 a pound. Had a really good offering of cattle today.

One grade step is worth $18.54/cwt here — about $225 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
