One grade step is worth $22.37/cwt here — about $181 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.

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $439.50, low $335.77, median $398.65 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
