Trends could not be established due to a reporter not being available last week. All classes of Cattle tended to trade with a higher undertone compared to two weeks ago. Quality good to fancy, demand good to strong.

500–600 lb steers averaged $357.39/cwt on 15 head, up $4.16 from the prior sale (only 11 head in that comparison). That ranks 3 of 28 comparable sales and sits −70.64 against this barn's trailing median of $428.03.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	581	371.36	2,159	11thin
Medium and Large 2	555	321.97	1,788	3thin
Small 1	560	310.00	1,736	1thin

One grade step is worth $61.36/cwt here — about $423 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 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 $345.36, 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
