Trends could not be established due to a lack of comparable receipts from last week. Quality fair to fancy, and included several value added, thin fleshed type feeder cattle. Demand good to strong.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	540	290.12	1,565	54
Medium and Large 2	548	249.32	1,366	16thin
Medium and Large 3	515	245.00	1,262	1thin

One grade step is worth $45.12/cwt here — about $304 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

21 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $427.80, low $352.76, median $383.08 across 21 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

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
