Compared to last week: there was not enough data from the previous week to call and accurate trend , however, a lower undertone was noted. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Quality was average and demand was very moderate.

One grade step is worth $7.25/cwt here — about $208 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

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.
