One grade step is worth $15.25/cwt here — about $151 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 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.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Bulls	—	Average	1,654	138.06	2,283	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,288	110.83	1,428	9thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,028	99.00	1,018	2thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,542	6
