Compared to last week, Slaughter Cows and Slaughter Bulls traded steady, Feeder Heifers mostly steady, Feeder Steers & Feeder Bulls not well established but sold with a higher undertone. Quality fair to fancy. Demand good.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head

Medium and Large 1	564	261.20	1,474	14thin

One grade step is worth $37.50/cwt here — about $178 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
