One grade step is worth $22.98/cwt here — about $115 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.

28 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $430.48, low $328.30, median $397.97 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
