One grade step is worth $35.26/cwt here — about $131 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.

29 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $449.66, low $355.45, median $419.06 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
