What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1-2	546	260.00	1,419	7thin

Medium and Large 2	556	235.11	1,306	21

One grade step is worth $35.00/cwt here — about $198 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

22 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $416.06, low $326.54, median $379.65 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,795	139.20	2,499	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,169	107.74	1,259	5thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,104	91.36	1,008	8thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
