What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	548	305.00	1,670	2thin
Medium and Large 2	533	282.50	1,504	2thin

One grade step is worth $39.00/cwt here — about $250 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.
