One grade step is worth $22.84/cwt here — about $81 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

21 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $427.80, low $352.76, median $383.08 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
