Compared to last week: feeder steers were not well tested. Feeder heifers and bulls sold 2.00 t o15.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Quality was plain to average and demand was as good as I have ever seen.

Medium and Large 2	533	283.93	1,513	4thin

One grade step is worth $11.72/cwt here — about $39 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

22 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $416.06, low $326.54, median $379.65 across 22 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
