One grade step is worth $70.66/cwt here — about $218 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

20 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $492.24, low $415.74, median $462.67 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
