Compared to last week: It was a light run, all classes looked mostly steady but really to lightly tested to call an accurate trend.

One grade step is worth $45.02/cwt here — about $193 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.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

8 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $397.24, low $291.80, median $349.93 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
