Compared to last week, not enough sales to have an accurate trend on all classes of cattle. No trend available for sheep and goats. Trade was active with a good demand and a light to moderate supply.

One grade step is worth $83.08/cwt here — about $412 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

13 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $430.47, low $379.33, median $396.12 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
