One grade step is worth $65.44/cwt here — about $277 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.

27 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $485.45, low $403.31, median $451.75 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
