One grade step is worth $31.07/cwt here — about $12 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

9 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $505.77, low $356.06, median $448.79 across 9 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
