What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	557	464.94	2,591	66

One grade step is worth $46.04/cwt here — about $280 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

29 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $487.74, low $375.33, median $448.63 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
