As compared to the last market: Feeder calves sold steady. Sold some really nice weaned calves in several groups they will be the 1/2 in the calf prices. Slaughter cattle sold a little lower today, didn't have the good high yield cows today like last week.

One grade step is worth $38.43/cwt here — about $165 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

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $493.97, low $337.72, median $452.89 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
