One grade step is worth $19.65/cwt here — about $97 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.

14 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $421.63, low $325.83, median $382.30 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
