One grade step is worth $18.67/cwt here — about $18 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.

This barn's trailing prices 0–100 lb

6 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $205.45, low $184.65, median $192.00 across 6 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
