One grade step is worth $0.91/cwt here — about −$72 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.

7 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $397.24, low $349.22, median $373.06 across 7 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
