One grade step is worth $35.95/cwt here — about $75 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

19 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $418.00, low $332.28, median $387.08 across 19 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
