What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1-2	540	347.76	1,876	58

One grade step is worth $5.69/cwt here — about −$7 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 700–800 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $444.17, low $321.78, median $396.40 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
