Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Feeder bulls sold 10.00 to 13.00 lower. There was not enough data from the previous week to call a trend on slaughter cattle. Quality was average and demand was moderate.

Weight class

Heifers · summary 500–600 lb

Weighted average of every reported lot

500–600 lb heifers averaged $359.40/cwt on 8 head, down $45.58 from the prior sale (only 12 head in that comparison). That ranks 7 of 22 comparable sales and sits −20.26 against this barn's trailing median of $379.65.

One grade step is worth $19.15/cwt here — about $98 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.

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
