One grade step is worth $27.99/cwt here — about $130 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $401.88, low $303.81, median $362.98 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
