One grade step is worth $16.93/cwt here — about $190 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $482.74, low $360.58, median $428.38 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
