One grade step is worth $31.17/cwt here — about $161 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.

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.15, low $334.37, median $403.65 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
