One grade step is worth $63.48/cwt here — about $265 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.

12 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $403.37, low $336.00, median $380.70 across 12 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
