One grade step is worth $28.96/cwt here — about $182 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.

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $432.07, low $337.27, median $398.43 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
