What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	511	257.84	1,318	7thin
Medium and Large 2	557	236.58	1,317	3thin
Medium and Large 3	533	230.08	1,226	3thin

One grade step is worth $27.76/cwt here — about $91 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

28 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $404.73, low $313.53, median $381.69 across 28 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,314	162.72	2,139	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,250	143.28	1,791	59

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	970	$1,550	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	875	$1,250	1thin
