One grade step is worth $4.98/cwt here — about −$8 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.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $482.74, low $334.44, median $427.70 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
