One grade step is worth $15.77/cwt here — about $149 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.

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $440.71, low $339.73, median $402.88 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
