One grade step is worth $52.87/cwt here — about $275 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.

31 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $475.45, low $350.03, median $418.14 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
