No market trends could be established for feeder or slaughter classes due to limited comparable receipts, however, a higher undertone was noted for slaughter cows and bulls.

One grade step is worth $42.09/cwt here — about $302 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

21 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $335.63, median $409.72 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
