One grade step is worth $77.12/cwt here — about $306 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $431.44, low $348.35, median $411.21 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
