What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head

One grade step is worth $34.60/cwt here — about $136 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

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.
