One grade step is worth $39.35/cwt here — about $258 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 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.
