One grade step is worth $74.31/cwt here — about $327 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

27 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $488.42, low $330.23, median $424.22 across 27 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
