Compared to last week, Slaughter cows mostly steady. Feeder Heifers steady-7.00 lower. Trends could not be established for Slaughter Bulls, Feeder Steers and Feeder Bulls due to a lack of comparable receipts. Quality fair to good. Demand moderate.

One grade step is worth $33.04/cwt here — about $236 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.
