One grade step is worth $53.77/cwt here — about $184 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.

24 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $455.47, low $333.67, median $410.83 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
