One grade step is worth $45.50/cwt here — about $283 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $1,708.55, low $1,006.30, median $1,390.12 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
