What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	514	349.30	1,796	27
Medium and Large 2	548	328.60	1,802	30

One grade step is worth $37.23/cwt here — about $64 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.

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
Bulls	—	Low	1,722	189.46	3,263	10
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,416	176.94	2,505	11

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,021	148.61	1,517	18

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
