One grade step is worth $94.41/cwt here — about $501 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

21 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $378.66, low $285.80, median $356.41 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
