One grade step is worth $61.99/cwt here — about $311 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.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $434.15, low $331.69, median $402.69 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf
