What quality paid 500–600 lb

One grade step is worth $63.40/cwt here — about $394 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.59, low $369.81, median $466.25 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
