compared to last week: There was not enough data to call a trend on feeder cattle but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady. Quality was average and demand was moderate.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $57.50/cwt here — about $371 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 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

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Bulls	—	Average	1,750	162.00	2,835	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,164	123.53	1,438	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,075	99.00	1,064	1thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
