One grade step is worth $67.98/cwt here — about $343 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.

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.
