Frame and muscle grade

One grade step is worth $54.17/cwt here — about $192 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

6 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $397.24, low $337.07, median $381.52 across 6 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,400	192.00	2,688	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,069	168.98	1,806	5thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,260	$2,250	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,085	$1,800	1thin
