One grade step is worth $34.60/cwt here — about $179 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.

21 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $410.62, low $336.84, median $372.69 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
