One grade step is worth $86.61/cwt here — about $425 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $480.82, low $357.60, median $450.58 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
