What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1-2	545	343.51	1,873	25
Medium and Large 1	554	316.96	1,756	8thin

One grade step is worth $26.55/cwt here — about $117 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 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.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

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	1,623	194.29	3,153	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,015	143.00	1,451	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	981	102.57	1,006	4thin

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.
