One grade step is worth $47.00/cwt here — about $173 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.

21 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $335.63, median $409.72 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
