One grade step is worth $147.92/cwt here — about $811 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

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $437.33, low $324.94, median $397.19 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
