One grade step is worth $46.58/cwt here — about $188 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $413.35, low $334.32, median $388.54 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
