One grade step is worth $17.44/cwt here — about $137 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 0–100 lb

20 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $226.86, low $185.87, median $214.82 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
