One grade step is worth $82.01/cwt here — about $441 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.

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.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
