One grade step is worth $109.68/cwt here — about $527 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $381.93, low $315.72, median $361.52 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
