One grade step is worth $3.49/cwt here — about $177 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

27 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $228.74, low $178.92, median $215.48 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
