One grade step is worth $58.56/cwt here — about $160 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.

14 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $472.36, low $373.99, median $434.11 across 14 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
