One grade step is worth $6.99/cwt here — about $80 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.

30 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $494.35, low $363.78, median $436.26 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
