One grade step is worth $40.73/cwt here — about $66 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.

27 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $468.96, low $327.18, median $414.86 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
