One grade step is worth $145.32/cwt here — about $831 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.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $390.48, low $292.12, median $352.13 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Replacement cattle Per head
