Compared to last week: With wide spread heavy snow and ice forecasted, feeder cattle sold 10.00 to 30.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold 4.00 to 6.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold steady. Quality was plain to average and demand was moderate.

Weight class

Bulls · summary 500–600 lb

One grade step is worth $24.04/cwt here — about $85 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

14 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $436.12, low $336.39, median $401.49 across 14 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
