Compared to last week, feeder steers were 10.00 to 50.00 higher. Feeder heifers were 10.00 to 40.00 higher. Slaughter cows were 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were 10.00 to 14.00 higher. A very nice set of lighter weight group value added calves were offered this week which topped several weight classes of calves this week.

One grade step is worth $35.96/cwt here — about $218 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.
