One grade step is worth $97.00/cwt here — about $474 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

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $1,707.20, low $986.89, median $1,274.00 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
