One grade step is worth $23.93/cwt here — about $64 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.

15 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $553.41, low $402.46, median $478.91 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
