One grade step is worth $46.48/cwt here — about $157 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.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

8 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.76, low $365.20, median $388.62 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
