Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $42.50/cwt here — about $137 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.

3 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $444.76, low $307.85, median $383.37 across 3 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
