One grade step is worth $6.91/cwt here — about $178 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

15 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $223.56, median $246.96 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
