One grade step is worth $41.35/cwt here — about $175 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.

20 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $427.80, low $317.97, median $385.84 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
