What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	525	420.05	2,205	3thin
Medium and Large 1-2	538	379.77	2,043	31

One grade step is worth $65.22/cwt here — about $237 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $468.96, low $359.33, median $415.17 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
