One grade step is worth $15.00/cwt here — about $86 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.

8 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $464.52, low $357.75, median $427.25 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
