One grade step is worth $101.86/cwt here — about $535 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.

15 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $499.10, low $359.18, median $446.05 across 15 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
