One grade step is worth $62.54/cwt here — about $312 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.

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $478.47, low $345.60, median $422.33 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
