What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $40.16/cwt here — about $212 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.

30 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $449.66, low $355.45, median $418.43 across 30 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.
