One grade step is worth $13.16/cwt here — about $190 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

24 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $238.02, low $191.56, median $208.86 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
