What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	545	303.46	1,654	7thin
Medium and Large 2	551	286.89	1,581	4thin
Medium and Large 3	524	279.33	1,464	4thin

One grade step is worth $24.13/cwt here — about $191 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

19 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $418.00, low $332.28, median $387.08 across 19 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	—	Low	1,470	156.50	2,301	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,058	141.32	1,495	7thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	905	114.49	1,036	7thin

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
