One grade step is worth $137.74/cwt here — about $718 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $437.33, low $320.76, median $393.25 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
