One grade step is worth $33.50/cwt here — about $114 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.

25 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $482.99, low $369.20, median $438.78 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
