One grade step is worth $163.45/cwt here — about $935 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

19 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.29, low $350.30, median $389.01 across 19 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
