One grade step is worth $43.24/cwt here — about $239 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $481.13, low $353.34, median $441.43 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
