One grade step is worth $46.19/cwt here — about $325 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

18 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.64, low $299.90, median $375.42 across 18 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
