What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 1	539	407.27	2,196	29
Medium and Large 2	539	376.78	2,031	6thin

One grade step is worth $30.50/cwt here — about $164 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.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.87, low $339.02, median $395.91 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
