One grade step is worth $50.50/cwt here — about $330 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.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $402.15, low $300.75, median $364.76 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
