One grade step is worth $30.20/cwt here — about $69 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.

27 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $461.89, low $350.03, median $429.09 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
