One grade step is worth $7.15/cwt here — about $56 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

29 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $494.35, low $363.78, median $435.82 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
