One grade step is worth $24.06/cwt here — about $134 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

22 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $421.27, low $312.72, median $385.81 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
