One grade step is worth $31.80/cwt here — about $174 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.

24 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $486.30, low $387.02, median $460.10 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
