One grade step is worth $79.11/cwt here — about $523 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.

This barn's trailing prices 0–100 lb

5 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $210.53, low $178.67, median $201.25 across 5 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
