What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Medium and Large 1	560	333.88	1,869	45

One grade step is worth $11.81/cwt here — about $167 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.

34 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $401.88, low $288.48, median $362.75 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
