One grade step is worth $57.51/cwt here — about $274 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

32 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $505.51, low $395.05, median $455.43 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
