One grade step is worth $62.71/cwt here — about $95 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.

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $468.96, low $359.33, median $415.17 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
