One grade step is worth $51.57/cwt here — about $275 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $428.62, low $348.95, median $393.50 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
