As filed

Compared to last week, Feeder Heifers traded $5.00-$7.00 higher on a light test, Slaughter Cows traded $3.00-$6.00 higher. Feeder Steers, Feeder Bulls, and Slaughter Bulls not well established. Quality fair to good. Demand good, with stronger demand for weaned feeder cattle.

One grade step is worth $71.40/cwt here — about $488 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

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
