Compared to last week, Slaughter Cows traded $2.00-$4.00 lower, Slaughter Bulls not well established, Feeder Steers $5.00-$15.00 higher, Feeder Heifers $5.00-$12.00 higher, Feeder Bulls between 400-550lbs $5.00-$15.00 higher, over 550lbs unevenly steady. Quality fair to fancy. Demand good.

One grade step is worth $74.07/cwt here — about $494 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.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.85, low $374.23, median $428.03 across 28 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.
