One grade step is worth $29.80/cwt here — about $261 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 $428.62, low $335.48, median $391.02 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
