One grade step is worth $57.06/cwt here — about $172 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.

25 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $447.60, low $380.31, median $427.30 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
