Compared to last week there was not enough to call an accurate trend due to the heavy rain.

What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $27.52/cwt here — about $170 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

7 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $397.24, low $349.22, median $373.06 across 7 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
