One grade step is worth $51.89/cwt here — about $227 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 100–200 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

19 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $427.13, low $330.39, median $401.63 across 19 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
