One grade step is worth $62.36/cwt here — about $330 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

13 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $490.30, low $400.27, median $455.89 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
