Compared to last week: There was not enough data to call a trend on feeder steers and heifers but a lower undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher. Quality was plain to average and demand was moderate.

One grade step is worth $1.86/cwt here — about −$32 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

9 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.76, low $365.20, median $387.65 across 9 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
