One grade step is worth $17.77/cwt here — about $121 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.

13 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $455.81, low $345.73, median $414.95 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
