No trends could be established due to a lack of comparable receipts. However, Slaughter Cows and Bulls sold with a lower undertone. Demand for Feeder cattle was moderate, while quality was fair to good.

One grade step is worth $21.03/cwt here — about $252 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.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.50, low $323.99, median $399.11 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
