One grade step is worth $22.71/cwt here — about $106 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.

13 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $411.54, low $289.87, median $359.34 across 13 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,202	129.66	1,558	8thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	948	125.24	1,187	4thin

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.

Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,575	2thin
