One grade step is worth $14.48/cwt here — about $162 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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $407.35, low $350.41, median $388.26 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
