One grade step is worth $46.78/cwt here — about $352 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

6 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $464.52, low $425.01, median $431.40 across 6 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
