Compared to last week Slaughter Cows traded $1.00-$3.00 lower, Feeder Heifer $4.00-$10.00 higher, Feeder Steers $5.00-$8.00 higher, Feeder Bulls & Slaughter Bulls not well established. Quality fair to fancy. Demand good.

One grade step is worth $71.62/cwt here — about $397 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.
