One grade step is worth $71.17/cwt here — about $340 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

5 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $413.09, low $332.91, median $383.63 across 5 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
