One grade step is worth $43.07/cwt here — about $165 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

14 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $428.74, low $370.87, median $410.44 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
