One grade step is worth $51.92/cwt here — about $183 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.

31 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $453.69, low $335.77, median $416.37 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
