What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1-2	515	286.00	1,473	3thin
Medium and Large 1	508	256.47	1,303	2thin
Medium and Large 2	560	232.36	1,300	36
Medium and Large 3	540	224.00	1,210	2thin

One grade step is worth $62.00/cwt here — about $263 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.02, low $351.03, median $394.33 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
