One grade step is worth $34.86/cwt here — about $336 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.

18 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $463.12, low $388.02, median $439.51 across 18 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
