One grade step is worth $43.38/cwt here — about $292 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.

24 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $421.90, low $334.36, median $382.97 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
