One grade step is worth $32.51/cwt here — about $91 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 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.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
