As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold mostly steady with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls or feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts, however, a lower undertone was noted for feeder cattle due to the recent continued downturn in the futures market.

One grade step is worth $15.28/cwt here — about $157 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.

25 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $319.64, median $404.89 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
