One grade step is worth $23.51/cwt here — about $196 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.

16 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $435.81, low $340.84, median $392.70 across 16 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.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,369	151.89	2,079	15

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
