One grade step is worth $29.66/cwt here — about $49 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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $510.74, low $431.11, median $482.94 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
