One grade step is worth $38.34/cwt here — about $80 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.02, low $337.03, median $383.56 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
