One grade step is worth $1.08/cwt here — about $21 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

29 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $494.35, low $363.78, median $435.82 across 29 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.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,167	161.22	1,882	32

Replacement cattle Per head
