What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	538	395.00	2,123	2thin
Medium and Large 2	550	356.68	1,963	3thin
Medium and Large 3	547	320.00	1,749	3thin

One grade step is worth $75.00/cwt here — about $374 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 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.

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

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	1,860	192.50	3,581	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,174	172.59	2,026	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,500	167.01	2,505	2thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,000	146.00	1,460	1thin

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,040	$2,900	1thin
