One grade step is worth $80.87/cwt here — about $357 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.

3 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $405.00, low $377.98, median $397.61 across 3 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
