One grade step is worth $20.14/cwt here — about $129 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.

10 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $418.89, low $339.51, median $365.11 across 10 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
