One grade step is worth $19.74/cwt here — about $253 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

26 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $424.62, low $312.36, median $379.07 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
