One grade step is worth $2.60/cwt here — about −$46 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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.76, low $335.50, 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.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
