One grade step is worth $73.65/cwt here — about $272 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

28 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $472.37, low $344.89, median $410.50 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
