One grade step is worth $138.09/cwt here — about $560 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $485.45, low $379.86, median $448.93 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
