One grade step is worth $7.34/cwt here — about $70 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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $411.54, low $289.87, median $359.34 across 13 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
