One grade step is worth $25.80/cwt here — about $125 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.

28 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $404.73, low $313.53, median $381.69 across 28 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
