What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $28.31/cwt here — about $356 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.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $414.64, low $331.35, median $392.32 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
