What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $15.92/cwt here — about $77 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

33 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $434.17, low $311.96, median $391.76 across 33 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	—	High	1,632	174.33	2,844	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,241	140.10	1,739	36
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,547	134.34	2,078	7thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,063	116.28	1,236	12

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)	915	$1,300	1thin
