Compared to last week: Feeder cattle were too thinly tested to accurately compare. Average dressing slaughter cows and bulls sold unevenly steady. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.

One grade step is worth $11.30/cwt here — about $79 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.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $508.64, low $402.16, median $450.71 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
