One grade step is worth $69.71/cwt here — about $474 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.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.50, low $339.43, median $399.11 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
