What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Medium and Large 1-2	531	411.28	2,185	41

One grade step is worth $9.63/cwt here — about −$122 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.

27 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $510.74, low $386.45, median $482.94 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
