What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $42.65/cwt here — about $214 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.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $412.59, low $315.00, median $376.22 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
