One grade step is worth $57.58/cwt here — about $460 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.

33 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $441.81, low $339.85, median $409.97 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
