One grade step is worth $15.75/cwt here — about $70 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

9 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $406.51, low $344.80, median $368.46 across 9 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	1,458	148.53	2,166	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,387	135.26	1,876	7thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	987	127.71	1,260	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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,028	$1,650	2thin
