One grade step is worth $24.82/cwt here — about $104 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.

12 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $411.54, low $298.51, median $365.55 across 12 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%	Low	1,219	173.23	2,112	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,033	168.87	1,744	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	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$1,983	3thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	—	$3,200	4thin
