Medium and Large 1	438	471.41	2,064	34

One grade step is worth $64.63/cwt here — about $324 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 100–200 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

30 sales

Heifers 400–500 lb: high $479.81, low $373.08, median $436.51 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
