One grade step is worth $33.97/cwt here — about $172 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.

31 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $429.02, low $326.46, median $395.53 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
