One grade step is worth $44.10/cwt here — about $173 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.

27 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $446.47, low $340.41, median $409.68 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
