One grade step is worth $19.92/cwt here — about $393 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.

4 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $214.56, low $185.52, median $188.64 across 4 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Arkansas weighted averages

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Arkansas auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
