One grade step is worth $75.17/cwt here — about $455 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.

21 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $410.62, low $336.84, median $372.69 across 21 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.

Bulls	—	High	1,530	189.05	2,892	12
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,555	157.96	2,456	14

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	961	127.53	1,225	14

Replacement cattle Per head
