One grade step is worth $32.23/cwt here — about $314 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

14 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $415.51, low $272.86, median $343.66 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
