Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $37.48/cwt here — about $92 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.

9 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.76, low $365.20, median $387.65 across 9 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
