One grade step is worth $37.68/cwt here — about $19 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

29 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $454.69, low $350.98, median $412.70 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
