One grade step is worth $59.42/cwt here — about $268 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.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $418.38, low $343.52, median $390.44 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
