One grade step is worth $4.96/cwt here — about −$34 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.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $444.17, low $338.71, median $397.64 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
