One grade step is worth $27.32/cwt here — about $147 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.

27 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $481.80, low $343.18, median $432.15 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
