Compared to last Thurs, not enough stocker or feeder cattle last week for accurate trends. Feeder cattle futures bought the fact following the screwworm confirmation on Wednesday, with gains of $10.40 to the $10.75 limit. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was down another $4.93 on June 1 to $359.21. Slaughter beef type turn-out returning to feed cows 2.00-5.00 higher. Dairy slaughter cows 1.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter bulls weak. Late on Wednesday evening, the USDA confirmed a case of the New World Screwworm in South Texas after testing a suspected case in a 3-week old calf in Zavala county. It's important to remember there should be no food safety concerns associated with the screwworm.

One grade step is worth $34.06/cwt here — about $392 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

18 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $493.55, low $319.09, median $394.00 across 18 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
