Compared to last week, feeder steers under 500 were 5.00 to 15.00 lower. Feeder steers over 500 pounds were 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 pounds were mixed this week. Feeder heifers over 500 pounds were 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 6.00 higher this week. Slaughter bulls were steady this week. A couple dispersals were offered this week so a good run of solid cows offered for breds, cow/calf pairs, and slaughter cows. Also some really nice solid bigger weight calves showed up this week.

One grade step is worth $35.73/cwt here — about $130 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

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $468.96, low $359.33, median $415.17 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
