One grade step is worth $62.28/cwt here — about $95 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.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $424.49, low $332.14, median $391.99 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
