One grade step is worth $107.22/cwt here — about $539 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.

4 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $467.94, low $361.51, median $424.04 across 4 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
