What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Medium and Large 2	541	245.05	1,325	14thin

One grade step is worth $11.85/cwt here — about $47 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.

25 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $424.38, low $337.30, median $382.56 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
