One grade step is worth $23.53/cwt here — about $34 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.

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.46, low $314.93, median $392.86 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
