One grade step is worth $38.24/cwt here — about $186 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.

28 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $424.38, low $314.48, median $378.27 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

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

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,180	167.46	1,975	8thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	963	146.37	1,410	3thin

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$3,000	3thin
