As compared to the last market: the feeder calf market was strong, had several farmers in buying rye grass calves. So my feeder steers were off 5.00-10.00 but my heifers were steady. Slaughter cattle sold steady as well.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head

One grade step is worth $61.21/cwt here — about $127 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,679	182.02	3,056	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,264	158.92	2,009	8thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,177	130.60	1,537	9thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
