As filed

Compared to last week, quality was better overall which drove prices higher. Feeder Steer & Feeder Bull trends could not be established due to insufficient receipts from last week. Feeder Heifers $8.00-$15.00 higher, Slaughter Cows $7.00-$10.00 higher, Slaughter Bulls $8.00-$10.00 higher. Quality good to fancy. Demand good to strong.

One grade step is worth $18.42/cwt here — about $86 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

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.87, low $339.02, median $395.91 across 30 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.
