One grade step is worth $5.18/cwt here — about $232 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.

24 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $319.64, median $405.93 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
