What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head

One grade step is worth $18.12/cwt here — about $149 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 $421.20, low $321.40, median $401.79 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
