One grade step is worth $53.08/cwt here — about $395 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

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $446.91, low $311.32, median $392.88 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
