One grade step is worth $134.37/cwt here — about $694 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.

25 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $437.39, low $350.22, median $406.35 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
