One grade step is worth $6.00/cwt here — about $56 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

28 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.03, low $339.53, median $376.56 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
