Compared to last week: Feeder cattle were not well tested due to a very plain run of feeder calves. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady. Demand was moderate.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $44.10/cwt here — about $288 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.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
