One grade step is worth $18.98/cwt here — about $154 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.

23 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $410.62, low $306.82, median $368.28 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
