One grade step is worth $48.35/cwt here — about $194 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.

13 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $415.51, low $272.86, median $355.23 across 13 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	1,495	150.00	2,243	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,660	157.93	2,622	3thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,075	117.99	1,269	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
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,395	$2,650	1thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	965	$2,400	1thin
