One grade step is worth $9.00/cwt here — about $70 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.

3 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $456.21, low $413.06, median $447.90 across 3 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
