One grade step is worth $31.42/cwt here — about $146 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.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.90, low $351.78, median $407.74 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
