One grade step is worth $39.86/cwt here — about $280 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.

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $497.83, low $395.21, median $442.54 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
