One grade step is worth $34.94/cwt here — about $45 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.

25 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $481.80, low $365.50, median $433.69 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
