What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	544	280.58	1,527	30
Medium and Large 2	551	265.44	1,462	23

One grade step is worth $34.36/cwt here — about $178 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.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $412.59, low $315.00, median $376.91 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
