What quality paid 500–600 lb

Frame and muscle grade

Frame / muscle	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Medium and Large 3	535	375.00	2,006	1thin
Medium and Large 2	555	368.02	2,042	29
Small 1	575	345.00	1,984	1thin

One grade step is worth $30.00/cwt here — about $23 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.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $402.15, low $300.75, median $364.76 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
