One grade step is worth $28.00/cwt here — about $113 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 900–1000 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

6 sales

Steers 700–800 lb: high $409.25, low $331.89, median $376.42 across 6 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
