One grade step is worth $56.72/cwt here — about $359 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.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $418.38, low $350.20, median $393.64 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
