One grade step is worth $27.27/cwt here — about $191 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 0–100 lb

3 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $220.08, low $190.45, median $218.87 across 3 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
