What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Medium and Large 1	552	361.78	1,995	14thin
Medium and Large 2	530	335.06	1,775	4thin

One grade step is worth $26.72/cwt here — about $220 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

14 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $465.34, low $338.65, median $413.78 across 14 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.

Replacement cattle Per head
