One grade step is worth $47.60/cwt here — about $255 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.

28 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $441.15, low $314.67, median $407.97 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
