One grade step is worth $22.65/cwt here — about $67 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

20 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $465.72, low $348.16, median $422.21 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
