One grade step is worth $17.38/cwt here — about $124 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

22 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $416.06, low $326.54, median $379.65 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
