One grade step is worth $52.93/cwt here — about $219 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

19 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $395.69, median $441.14 across 19 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
