Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	540	477.50	2,579	1thin
Medium and Large 2	510	419.06	2,137	4thin

One grade step is worth $58.44/cwt here — about $441 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

18 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $463.12, low $388.02, median $439.51 across 18 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	—	High	1,630	204.25	3,329	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,349	175.71	2,370	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,087	160.00	1,739	7thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,230	$3,500	1thin
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,205	$3,500	1thin
