One grade step is worth $29.10/cwt here — about $133 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 700–800 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $427.83, low $321.01, median $371.95 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
