Compared to last week: not enough comparison data to call a trend. Very good quality cattle sold today with good demand.

Steers · summary 500–600 lb

Weighted average of every reported lot

500–600 lb steers averaged $445.00/cwt on 2 head, down $2.90 from the prior sale (only 13 head in that comparison). That ranks 2 of 3 comparable sales and sits −2.90 against this barn's trailing median of $447.90.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	530	465.00	2,465	1thin
Medium and Large 2	595	425.00	2,529	1thin

One grade step is worth $40.00/cwt here — about −$64 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

3 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $456.21, low $413.06, median $447.90 across 3 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
