One grade step is worth $57.50/cwt here — about $273 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.

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $434.28, low $357.45, median $409.64 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
