What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1-2	554	371.17	2,057	5thin
Medium and Large 2-3	543	356.63	1,937	9thin

One grade step is worth $14.55/cwt here — about $120 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 700–800 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

21 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $440.96, low $347.47, median $419.71 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
