What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	515	380.00	1,957	1thin
Medium and Large 1-2	513	352.49	1,808	47

One grade step is worth $60.00/cwt here — about $101 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.

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.
