Compared to last week, Feeder steers were 5.00 to 25.00 higher. Feeder heifers were steady to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows were steady to 4.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 lower. A really nice set of bred cows and replacement type females were offered this week. Next week this barn will be closed to remember the Thanksgiving Day holiday.

One grade step is worth $57.98/cwt here — about $280 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

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

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
