As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers were not well tested but a higher undertone was noted, feeder heifers sold mostly 7.00 to 8.00 higher, and feeder bulls sold 13.00 to 19.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Quality was average to attractive and demand was good.

500–600 lb heifers averaged $379.94/cwt on 30 head, up $17.90 from the prior sale (only 13 head in that comparison). That ranks 12 of 22 comparable sales and sits +0.29 against this barn's trailing median of $379.65.

One grade step is worth $90.45/cwt here — about $463 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.

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.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
