What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 2	547	252.00	1,378	50
Medium and Large 3	533	249.50	1,330	15thin
Medium and Large 1	551	247.54	1,364	63
Small 1	536	246.00	1,319	15thin

One grade step is worth $6.00/cwt here — about $60 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

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.34, low $348.06, median $385.02 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
