Average dressing slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 lower and average dressing slaughter bulls sold steady. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.

One grade step is worth $33.06/cwt here — about $72 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
