Compared to last week, slaughter cattle none to compare. Feeder cattle were 4.00 to 8.00 higher. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were heavy. Cattle quality was plain to average.

One grade step is worth $117.26/cwt here — about $670 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

4 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $404.84, low $362.11, median $373.86 across 4 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.

Replacement cattle Per head
