One grade step is worth $56.28/cwt here — about $344 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.

16 sales

Heifers 600–700 lb: high $408.96, low $270.00, median $373.14 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
