One grade step is worth $27.17/cwt here — about $206 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.

24 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $419.64, low $302.47, median $368.67 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
