One grade step is worth $97.39/cwt here — about $539 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

14 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $436.12, low $336.39, median $401.49 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
