One grade step is worth $27.00/cwt here — about $68 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.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

35 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $409.07, low $296.08, median $374.07 across 35 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	High	1,486	167.69	2,491	13
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,400	144.25	2,019	23

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,136	119.43	1,357	14

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
