One grade step is worth $21.59/cwt here — about $252 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.

23 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $419.64, low $327.37, median $370.92 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
