One grade step is worth $103.37/cwt here — about $626 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.

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $402.97, low $301.32, median $369.04 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
