One grade step is worth $8.82/cwt here — about −$97 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.

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.

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	1,640	175.00	2,870	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,220	161.85	1,975	2thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,041	127.65	1,329	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	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	975	$1,850	1thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	738	$1,717	2thin
