One grade step is worth $23.70/cwt here — about $123 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

26 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $461.89, low $384.72, median $433.76 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
