As filed

As compared to the last market: Feeder calves sold 5.00-10.00 lower. Slaughter cattle sold steady. Sold some good tiger stripe calves in the regular calf run, that brought the bank 515 lb. heifer @ $5.45, 485 lb. @ $ 4.95, 535 lb. @ $ 5.05 and a 605 lb. @ $ 4.80. Really nice heifers.

One grade step is worth $22.38/cwt here — about $90 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.
