As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steer were mixed this week throughout weight classes. Feeder heifers were also mixed this week. Slaughter cows were 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 lower. A couple dispersals were offered this week so several really nice commercial replacement breds and cow/calf pair were offered along with several 550 weight and up group feeder cattle.

One grade step is worth $47.09/cwt here — about $163 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.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
