One grade step is worth $60.74/cwt here — about $287 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.

29 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $508.64, low $376.63, median $449.60 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
