One grade step is worth $16.91/cwt here — about −$7 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.

13 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $408.33, low $347.96, median $382.11 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
