One grade step is worth $38.46/cwt here — about $249 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.

30 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $462.61, low $362.40, median $439.70 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
