As filed

Compared to last week: there was not enough data to call a trend on feeder steers but a higher undertone was noted, feeder heifers sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher, and feeder bulls sold unevenly steady. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 lower. Quality was average and demand was good.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $50.00/cwt here — about $328 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

8 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.76, low $365.20, median $388.62 across 8 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.
