One grade step is worth $21.01/cwt here — about $144 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 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.
