One grade step is worth $36.38/cwt here — about $285 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.

13 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $503.67, low $369.50, median $425.30 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
