One grade step is worth $40.51/cwt here — about $43 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

15 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $424.82, low $341.01, median $402.05 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
