One grade step is worth $17.62/cwt here — about −$150 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

15 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $212.33, low $181.39, median $202.33 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
