What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	500	475.00	2,375	1thin
Medium and Large 2	563	410.00	2,308	3thin

One grade step is worth $67.57/cwt here — about $142 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

12 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $415.51, low $315.40, median $376.64 across 12 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
