What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

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

One grade step is worth $65.09/cwt here — about $296 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

32 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $437.33, low $324.94, median $397.19 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
