One grade step is worth $62.10/cwt here — about $225 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

25 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $468.96, low $359.33, median $415.48 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
