One grade step is worth $43.96/cwt here — about −$360 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.

33 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $1,060.44, low $284.92, median $610.47 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
