What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Medium and Large 1	557	340.50	1,898	25
Medium and Large 2	559	299.88	1,678	7thin

One grade step is worth $40.62/cwt here — about $220 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $456.21, low $333.47, median $382.02 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
