One grade step is worth $35.25/cwt here — about $68 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.

26 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $424.38, low $337.30, median $381.10 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
