One grade step is worth $19.96/cwt here — about $79 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.

26 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $440.26, low $346.43, median $385.50 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
