Medium and Large 2	551	198.72	1,095	6thin
Medium and Large 3	559	189.76	1,061	11thin

One grade step is worth $8.96/cwt here — about $34 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.

12 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $415.51, low $315.40, median $376.64 across 12 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
