One grade step is worth $79.87/cwt here — about $387 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.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $439.87, low $321.26, median $380.03 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
