One grade step is worth $53.74/cwt here — about $123 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

32 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $216.84, low $181.50, median $202.53 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
