One grade step is worth $99.65/cwt here — about $331 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.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $508.64, low $402.16, median $450.71 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
