One grade step is worth $31.01/cwt here — about $151 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.

32 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $429.02, low $326.46, median $393.50 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
