One grade step is worth $16.00/cwt here — about $14 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.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $427.83, low $316.23, median $372.20 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
