One grade step is worth $62.00/cwt here — about $164 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

6 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $397.24, low $337.07, median $381.52 across 6 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
