One grade step is worth $41.94/cwt here — about $249 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.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $445.63, low $349.69, median $404.73 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
