As compared to the last market: Had a smaller offering of cattle today. Feeder calves were 3.00-5.00 lower and slaughter cattle were a little soft today. FYI just a note if the federal Government shuts down tonight at midnight, the market will not be published until they come to an agreement.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	540	410.00	2,214	1thin
Medium and Large 1-2	513	395.00	2,026	5thin
Medium and Large 2	516	359.00	1,852	34
Medium and Large 3	540	345.00	1,863	1thin

One grade step is worth $65.00/cwt here — about $351 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

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.02, low $351.03, median $394.33 across 29 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
