One grade step is worth $67.25/cwt here — about $360 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $454.14, low $321.67, median $404.39 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
