As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold with too few comparable sales to trend. While slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher, slaughter bulls sold 6.00 to 9.00 lower on a light test. Trade was active on moderate to good demand, with a moderate supply.

One grade step is worth $98.09/cwt here — about $659 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

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $455.49, low $350.37, median $408.28 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
