One grade step is worth $62.34/cwt here — about $370 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.

31 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $505.51, low $396.77, median $456.84 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

How this sale compares

Oklahoma weighted averages

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Oklahoma auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
