One grade step is worth $23.28/cwt here — about $87 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

3 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $214.23, low $204.41, median $213.93 across 3 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
