One grade step is worth $31.38/cwt here — about $137 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.

7 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $426.77, low $384.78, median $404.47 across 7 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
